[1st verse:]
|
After the gray of a long dreary day comes the evening
|
Peaceful and calm as a sheltering palm is the evening
|
Daytime has gone to rest, there in the golden west
|
Soon little stars will appear in the sky
|
Seeming to say, "We are here, hush-a-bye"
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Evening, lady of the evening
|
I can hear you calling me
|
|
Calling, while the shades are falling
|
Falling over land and sea
|
|
You can make the cares and troubles
|
That followed me through the day
|
Fold their tents just like the Arabs
|
And silently steal away
|
|
Evening, lady of the evening
|
I hear you calling me
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
After the sun when its day's work is done comes the evening
|
Then with the night comes the angels who light up the evening
|
There in the sky they stand, each with a torch in hand
|
Then one by one, little stars in the sky
|
Look down and say, "We are here, hush-a-bye"
|
