SUNDAY, MONDAY OR ALWAYS
(Johnny Burke / Jimmy Van Heusen)

Because of a musicians strike, Bing recorded little in 1943. By far his biggest hit of the year was "Sunday, Monday or Always" from his movie Dixie. The song had no orchestral accompaniment, only the Ken Darby Singers. It sold more than a million copies and topped the Billboard charts for 7 weeks.

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
I want you near
Every day in the year

Oh, won't you tell me when
We will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always

If you're satisfied
I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always

No need to tell me now
What makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you
My heart begins to pound and pound

And what am I to do
Can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always

Always and forever I must be with you
Beginning Sunday and Monday and then forever

Oh, won't you tell me when
We will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always

If you're satisfied
I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always

No need to tell me now
What makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you
My heart begins to pound, pound, pound

What am I to do
Can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always
