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 it's charms!

When day is done

and grass is wet

with twilight's dew,

my lonely heart is sinking

with the sun!

Although I miss your tender kiss

the whole day through,

I miss you most of all

when day is done!

Although I miss your tender kiss

the whole day through,

I miss you most of all

when day is done!
