Any Day Now
Words & Music:
Bob Hilliard/ Burt BacharachAny day now I will hear you say
Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now I’ll be all alone
Oh, oh, oh
Any day now, when your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh
I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeah
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird

Fantastic performance by Elvis with soul vocal gymnastics that are peerless. Yes it should have been an 'A' Side and it would have sold millions.- at the very least 5 stars.
A song amazingly well sung. White soul at it's best.
This song is absolute fabulous. 5+ stars.
This is my favorite version of this song, better than the original by Chuck Jackson.
is this great love song really about a bird?..
This is a really good Elvis track and deserved to be released as the top side, an excellent soulful sound.
Never much cared for this song.
