I remember finding out about you/
Every day, my mind is all around you.

Badfinger’s “Day After Day” is a declaration of love. It sounds very Beatles-esque. Part of the reason is that everyone in the early seventies was influenced heavily by The Beatles, but also because this song was produced by George Harrison. Do you recognize the slide guitar? It is Harrison.

This song shares a similar theme with The Hollies “The Air That I Breathe”. “Day After Day” is about a guy talking about his experiences in relation to his bedroom. He remembers the times in his room before he met the girl: he would think of her and he was lonely. He was not certain if she knew he existed. Now, he is remembering times they have been together intimately. The thought of just holding her makes him warm.

In more general terms, the song is about the infatuation you feel when you first began to have feelings for another person. Your mind becomes a bit obsessive as that seems to be all you can think about.

Interestingly, the narrator suspects that she does not quite share the same feelings for him that he does for her. He knows he loves her, and he is waiting for her to find her way there too. Hopefully he won’t wait too long.

Day After Day Lyrics

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
