Since you've gone away, one thing is clear to me, You were dearer than dear to me From the moment you came. Evenings by your side, I learned to love the night, But the loveliness of the night Is no longer the same. Chorus: 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 gra** 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. Vesper bells are ringing, somewhere far away, There's a silvery star away At the edge of the sky. Work is done, and life is like a song to me, For some treasures belong to me That no money can buy. Chorus: 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 gra** 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.
