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 begun   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   Newspaper blowing 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 timing 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
