G A
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
G A
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
G A
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
G A
Worship the sun when it's high
Em B
Some people go for those sultry evenings
Em B Em
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
G A D
But I like every minute of the day
G A G A
I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
G F#
Every moment has its special charm
Bm Asus4 A
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine
G A
I know a crowd who only live after midnight
Their faces always seem so pale
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
They say a suntan never fails
I know a man who works the night shift
He's lucky to get a job and some pay
And I like every minute of the day
G A G A
I dig every second, I can laugh in the snow and rain
G F#
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
Bm Asus4 A
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain
G A
And so you see that I'm completely crazy
I even shun the south of France
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
Some people have to have the sultry evenings
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day
G A D
I like every minute of the day
(from The Who by Numbers, 1975)

| this is such a simple beautiful song, one of my favorites even though it is so unlike most other Who songs. For me, it is just showing that every part of every day is equally unique and amazing, not to take anything for granted. | |

| It's pantheism. It's also the Sufi doctrine of seeing God in everything, both ugly and beautiful. On a sunny, gorgeous day and also on a rainy miserable one, God is manifest. | |

| It's a really beautiful song. It would probably be loitering around my top 10 Who songs as well. | |
