When day is done and shadows fall,
I dream of you.
When day is done I think of all
The joys we knew.

That yearning,
Returning,
To hold you in my arms
won't go, love,
I know, love;
Without you night has lost its charms.

When day is done and grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinkin'
With the sun!

Although I miss
Your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!

When day is done and grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinkin'
With the sun!

Although I miss
Your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
