Day Is Done |
| When the day is done |
| Down to earth then sinks the sun |
| Along with everything that was lost and won |
| When the day is done |
| When the day is done |
| Hope so much your race will be all run |
| Then you find you jumped the gun |
| Have to go back where you began |
| When the day is done |
| When the night is cold |
| Some get by but some get old |
| Just to show life’s not made of gold |
| When the night is cold |
| When the bird has flown |
| Got no one to call your own |
| Got no place to call your home |
| When the bird has flown |
| When the game’s been fought |
| You sped the ball across the court |
| Lost much sooner than you would have thought |
| Now the game’s been fought |
| When the party’s through |
| Seems so very sad for you |
| Didn’t do the things you meant to do |
| Now there’s no time to start anew |
| Now the party’s through |
| When the day is done |
| Down to earth then sinks the sun |
| Along with everything that was lost and won |
| When the day is done |
