When Day Is Done
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
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!
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!
