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!
