Day Is Done Lyrics by Peter, Paul and Mary

Around the Campfire

0

[Verse 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]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Day is done (Oh when the day is done)
Day is done (When the day is done, when the)
Day is done (When the day is done)
Day is done

[Verse 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]
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

[Verse 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]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Day is done (When the day is done)
Day is done (When the day is done, when the)
Day is done (When the day is done)
Day is done

[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

[Post-Chorus]
Day is done (When the day is done, when the day is)
Day is done (When the day is done, when the)
Day is done (Oh when the day is done)
Day is done
