LYRICS:
When you look at me Tell me what you see Do you see no love at all? Or do you see in me What you always see In every girl that you fall for I will show you how love is meant to be Just watch and learn and listen to me Will you ever see the day Heartache leads astray Good love will always come from me Will you ever learn to love Without a little doubt Good love will always come from me When you look away Is it mean to say That she haunts you night and day And does it hurt your heart When I say let's start To heal the part that's been torn Don't you see that I I'm really worth a try And I say to you I know just what to do Don't you see that I I'm really worth a try And I say to you I know just what to do

Notes:
The song was approached, like "I'll Stand By You", as one which needed to stick closely to the original in terms of tone. The method paid off - "See The Day" was significant because it was a huge radio airplay hit at Christmas.
Cheryl Cole stated in January 2008 that the song was only put out because they were stuck for ballads. "I wish we hadn't released See The Day. I absolutely hate that track, I don't think it's us at all, it's really old fashioned."

Releasing the worst track on their album (inevitably a slushy ballad
cover) around this time of year seems to be a bit of an annual tradition with
Girls Aloud - first 2004's woeful I'll Stand By You, and now this uninspiring
cover of Dee C Lee's See The Day. To be fair, it's not too shabby as girl band
ballads go, but coming so hot on the heels of the still-charting Biology and
taken from an album chock-full of corking tracks, it seems more than a little
cynical. Still, the Girls have arranged themselves for your delight into a
festive star formation on the cover, so this deserves a place on the wall if
not in your CD player. Virgin.net

Oops, Girls Aloud have done another cover version have they? Despite the
fact that they're the finest pop act working today, they don't have a good
record with other people's songs, as anyone who can recall their versions of
Jump or I'll Stand By You will be able to testify to.
