When day is done

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 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. 
 
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 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.
