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

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 charm


When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight 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
