Day is Done.

By Peter Yarrow.

___________*__________

1) Tell me why you're crying, my son

I know you're frightened, like everyone

Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?

Will it help if I stay very near?

I am here. [chorus]

_____

CHORUS:

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

_____

2) Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?

You shall inherit what mankind has done.

In a world filled with sorrow and woe

If you ask me why this is so,

I really don't know. [chorus]

_____

3) Tell me why you're smiling my son

Is there a secret you can tell everyone?

Do you know more than men that are wise?

Can you see what we all must disguise

through your loving eyes? [chorus]
