Billie Holiday Discography   Lyrics

Day in-Day Out (1939)

lyrics by Johnny Mercer
music by Rube Bloom

Day in-day out
The same old hoodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you
And darling I think of you
Day in-day out

Day out-day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awake with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean's roar
A thousand drums
Can't you see it's love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in-day out

(very long bridge)

Day in-day out
The same old hoodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you
And darling I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out-day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awake with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean's roar
A thousand drums
Can't you see it's love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in-day out
