Peter, Paul and Mary - Day Is Done

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

The day is done, day is done, day is done,

all of you singing.

And if you take my hand, my son,

all will be wel,l my son, oh.

If you take my hand, my son,

all will be well.
