ONCE A DAY
Recorded by Connie Smith
Written by Bill Anderson

When you found somebody new
I thought I never would
Forget you, for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains a-way
Until now, I’m down to hurtin’ once a day.

CHORUS
Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk till dawn
The only time, I wish you weren’t gone
Is once a day, ev’ry-day, all day long.

Recorded in August 1964, "Once a Day" stayed number one on the charts for eight weeks. The song can be found on Connie Smith: Cute n' Country, released 2006 on Hux Records.
