Content



The narrator is telling his lover that he only misses her on days that end in "Y". He also says he only misses her when he's awake, when he's sleeping, when he's alone, or when he's with somebody. It would mean that he actually misses her every day and every time.

Critical reception



Larry Flick of 'Billboard' gave the song a positive review: "The song's theme is somewhat well worn in country music, but the track revisits the lost-love scenario with a cleverly penned lyric and a dancefloor beat."Larry Flick, Billboard Magazine, June 1, 1996, [https://books.google.com/books?id=rwkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA83&dq=Only+on+Days+That+End+in+%22Y%22+Clay+Walker+Review&hl=en&ei=htOkTfXVDcbegQeu4YSICg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Only%20on%20Days%20That%20End%20in%20%22Y%22%20Clay%20Walker%20Review&f=false Billboard Magazine]
