To see You at Every Time of Day

To see you in the morning,
Be with you in the evening,
To see you here
At every time of day,
Such a simple prayer,
To see you at every time of day.
                                                                   
To hold you when you're laughing,
Console you when you're crying,
Take care of you
At every time of day,
Such a simple prayer,
To see you at every time of day.
                                                                    
So tell me why you push me away,
When I’ve sworn to be
Forever true,
When I’ve pledged
My pure and simple heart to you?
How can you be so cruel?
                                                                    
To see you in the morning,
Be with you in the evening,
To see you here
At every time of day,
Such a simple prayer,
To see you at every time of day.

Author's Note
'To See You at Every Time of Day' is a song lyric dating from 2003, but based on an earlier lyrical sketch, written when I was around 18 years old, and crooned in a voice reminiscent of that of a youthful hero of mine, Bryan Ferry, his unique version of 'These Foolish Things' by Jack Strachey and Eric Maschwitz, having served as the inspiration for my own jejune take on it.
