As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:


Just like yesterday, I got up today with so much to be done
All I could do was think of you
Now it's striking ten, time for bed again and another day's gone
All I could do was write to you

Just another day wasted away, watching and waiting
Just another day wasted away, filled with gloom
All day all alone, hoping you would phone, but you never called me
Covered miles of ground, pacing up and down 'round my room

Just another night, nothing in sight, nothing but grieving
When I go to sleep, mem'ries will creep, makin' me blue
And when the break of dawn I see, what's it gonna mean to me
Just another day wasted away, thinkin' for you

Ev'ry night and day, ev'ry diff'rent way, how I've tried to forget
All I could do was think of you
Blue as I can be, nothin' left for me, nothin', dear, but regrets
All I can do is wait for you

Just another day wasted away, watchin' and waitin'
Just another day wasted away, filled with gloom
All day all alone, hopin' you would phone, but you never called me
Covered miles of ground, pacing up and down 'round my room

Just another night, nothin' in sight, nothin' but grieving
When I go to sleep, mem'ries will creep, makin' me blue
And when the break of dawn I see, what's it gonna mean to me
Just another day wasted away, thinkin' of you

That's all!
