When day is done

jazzové standardy

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.
