| Lyrics: | 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"
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
[2]
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 |
