"Each and Every Day" (often recorded as "Day Time, Night Time") is a song written by British drummer Mike Hugg and recorded by his band Manfred Mann. Described as blue-eyed soul, R&B or pop, the song features keyboardist Manfred Mann on Mellotron. It was recorded at Philips Studios in London with producer Shel Talmy during August 1966. Though initially planned to be released as a single A-side, "Each and Every Day" first saw release as the B-side of "Semi-Detached, Suburban Mr. James" through Mercury Records in the US on 7 October 1966. "Each and Every Day" was belatedly issued as an album track in the UK through Fontana Records when it was part of the Mighty Garvey! album on 28 June 1968. Upon release, it received positive reviews, with critics noting the brass sound.

According to biographer Greg Russo, "Each and Every Day" became a popular cover song for other bands, who recorded it as "Day Time, Night Time". Early covers include one by the Mike Jones Group and the Shamrocks, who's version was produced by Manfred Mann manager Gerry Bron. British pop group Simon Dupree and the Big Sound recorded it as their third single in 1967 in a heavily promoted version which reached number 58 on the Record Retailer chart and received mixed reviews in the press. The most commercially successful rendition of "Day Time, Night Time" was recorded by British-born Canadian singer Keith Hampshire, who's version of it on A&M Records reached number five in Canada and number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. His version received positive reviews in the press.
