Songfacts:
The year before Day After Day, members of Badfinger played on George Harrison’s first solo album, All Things Must Pass. Harrison then started producing Badfinger’s Straight Up album, but midway through got sidetracked organising the Concert for Bangla Desh, which Badfinger played as part of his backing band. Todd Rundgren was brought in to finish the album.

Lyrics:
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
