Lee, Brenda - As Usual Lyrics






The sun comes up and brings the dawn
As usual
When I awake I'll find you gone
As usual

But I can't find a way to let
This crazy heart of mine forget
I pretend you're still beside me
As usual

Each evening I take a walk
As usual
I make believe that we still talk
As usual

People always stop and stare
I guess they just don't see you there
Don't they know you'll always be right here
As usual

Today I looked into my mirror
As usual

[Spoken:]
(I told myself that you're still here
As usual)

And as I stood there telling lies
The tears began to fill my eyes
Cause I know I'm only fooling myself
As usual

    Beautiful~~~~~~~~~~As Usual! I've always loved it! Thanks Mookie for a chance to listen again~~~~and you're not here AS Usual!

    R.... B....

    Surprised you would remark that I am not here, "as usual," when I am always present in the form of a comment. This
    video is an old post of which I was unaware. I left my remark on a
    duplicate post of this same recording, but with a different thumbnail, and the misleading title of "Movie Soundtracks," which I told Nancy is causing too much confusion in finding the correct video, and frustrating me. So please
    Google this under the heading of Movie Soundtracks, Brenda Lee, As Usual, on this channel. The thumbnail has some movie poster I can't even read. Thanks. Glad you at least found the song,
    and hope you didn't waste too much time wading through all 110 or so comments to find out mine is not among them. (Google Ray Price on THE SAME TWO LIPS, Tom Page channel. You will find me there, "as usual!"👋😜😉

    Sale el sol y trae el amanecer
    como siempre,
    Cuando despierte, veré que te has ido
    como siempre.

    Pero, no puedo encontrar una manera de dejar
    que este loco corazón mío olvide.
    Finjo que sigues a mi lado
    como siempre

    Cada tarde salgo a caminar,
    como siempre.
    Hago creer que todavía hablamos,
    como siempre...

    La gente siempre se detiene y mira
    supongo que simplemente no te ven allí
    ¿No entienden que siempre estarás aquí
    como siempre?

    Hoy me miré en el espejo,
    como siempre
    Me dije a mí mismo que todavía estás aquí,
    como siempre.

    Y como estaba parado allí diciendo mentiras
    las lágrimas comenzaron a llenar mis ojos,
    porque sé que solo me estoy engañando a mí mismo,
    como siempre

  10. R.... D....

    no more music like this... all you have now as music is trash-like... ugh...

    Brenda had a very difficult life. Her daddy was killed in a accident when she was just 8. Her singing had to support her mom.two brothers and sister..she started to make money but because of the law could not have it till she was 21..she took it to court and won..she bought her family a house and it burnt down..Just a but of her life..she was only 4 foot 11" what a voice for such a little sweetheart.. love her singing when I was a child and still do after all these years..

  16. R.... v....

  21. w.... g....

    Perfect background for this memorable Brenda Lee ballad. Thank you for putting it together...classic in its simplicity.

  22. M.... B....

    Brenda was well into her first pregnancy when this was released. Despite not making personal appearances or doing her usual spring tour of the UK, "As Usual" reached #5 on the charts in Britain and #12 in the US. Brenda was still voted by fans in the UK as the top female singer over home grown talents like Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Cilla etc.

    M.... B....

    I have no idea why this Brenda Lee masterpiece only reached #12 in the U.S.

  23. p.... ....

    ooooooooooooh what a voice

  24. J.... C....

    This is me

    When Ms. Lee does a ballad such as this it can be oh so heavenly. Sad but heavenly nonetheless. 2/2018

  45. K.... E....

    Happily or unhappily, life goes on as usual. People enter our lives and leave as usual. Life makes us laugh and cry as usual. There's nothing you can do to stop it. So, take it easy and take all this in your stride.

  46. C.... W....

    Guess I’m just a sentimental old crone whose life is ending alone....mostly my own fault I guess....

  47. p.... g....

  50. G.... S....

    Thinking of my mom As Usual

  51. g.... b....

    as usual wonderful voice....😍😍

  52. M.... M....

    This song is lovely as Breda Lee was, but it sure is sad. At first I thought this song meant she was carrying him around in her heart when she sang "Don't they know You'll always be right here As Usual." Then a friend of mine said I was a fool, because each evening I took a walk; I made believe that we still talked; people always stopped and stared because they didn't see her there; they didn't realize she would always be right there under her tombstone. Not long afterwards I died for the 4th time in the 7th assassination attempt on my life and after the paddles brought me back I discovered that I was given a special gift to see the dead. I had 4 angels surrounding me wherever I went. There was nobody under that tombstone. They were gone for 7 years after Stacy & I told each other that we loved each other. I never even missed them, because when you truly love someone you can't think about anyone but them. The past does not exist, there is only right now, and there may or may not be a future. That is all I am going to say about that, as Forrest Gump would say! I still dream of meeting Eric Roth, the great script writer of Forrest Gump & so many more. It would have made it much easier if I had not quit the movie business in 1990, but there are many roads to reach a dream. After watching your videos half of the night last night, I shut my alarm off & woke up at noon when my phone never seem to stop ringing again. "All the ports are closed in Texas!" When they going to be open again." Like I can stop the rivers flooding that are flooding the ports which make them unusable. Don't they know what happens when a hurricane even come too close to Texas. I needed you magical mystery tour to get some relief from hearing that same question over & over for 8 hours. Thanks, Nancy, for helping me unwind. I enjoyed myself so much I kept at it until 3:37 AM CDT. Goodnight & I hope you are having sweet dreams up there in Canada, Ay!

  53. J.... M....

    i grew up with Brenda Lee when i was going to high school. How can anyone put thumbs down on any of her songs.

    J.... M....

    Only fools perhaps do that....they don't appreciate good music....

  54. C.... G....

    One of only 4 (I believe) that is a member of BOTH the Rock and Roll and Country Music Hall Of Frame

  55. E.... M....

    As Usual... Happy Mother's Day!

  56. l.... p....

    Its hard to believe that such a beautiful voice can come from a small but god given female that can mesmerise yor thoughts and feelings god blessed you brenda

  57. R.... S....

    Do songs (and singers for that matter) get any better than this? They just dont make them like this anymore. A wonderful walk down memory lane, 'tho I wasn't even born when this came out, so I'm lucky my dad had good taste in music.

    R.... S....

    Greetings to you Richard.....

    R.... S....

    No, thank you. You have brought the wonderful Brenda Lee back to life in glorious stereo. She never sounded better.

    R.... S....

    This is my favorite song by this artist. Such a beautiful melody and heartfelt presentation

    R.... S....

    My wife's mum use to play this often. She had an abusive husband, and she stayed too long in that relationship. Sad.

    Beautiful memories remain in our hearts forever...N

  91. G.... V....

    "As Usual – Lonely, Lonely, Lonely Me – Decca 31570 – Two more powerhouse sides from Miss Lee. The first is a lovely ballad sung in the great tradition. The flip is a middle tempo swinger in which Brenda gets a beguiling Fats Domino sound that’s most appealing." (Billboard Nov 30, 1963 p. 19)

  92. e.... N....

    Excellent Nancy. Thanks for your upoload. I dont know where you have found these very old songs, but it's nice you share them here.

  93. m.... ....

    A wonderful Country and Western singer. This song will go on and on.
    Once again, thank you Nancy.
    Kind regards, Michael.
