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!

< instrumental verse >

Although I miss your tender kiss
the whole day through,
I miss you most of all
when day is done!
