Day is done Tell me why you're crying my son I know you're frightened like ev'ryone Is it the thunder in the distance you fear? Will I help if it stay very near, I am here *And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done Day is done, day is done, Day is done, day is done Do you ask why I'm sighing my son You shall inherit what mankind had done In the world willed with sorrow and woe If you ask me why this is so, I really don't know (repeat *) Tell me why you're smiling, my son Is there a secret you can tell ev'ryone Do you know more than men that are wise? Can you see what we all must disguise Through your loving eyes? (repeat *)
