Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
The day is done, the golden sun
Is sinking behind the blue
And on its way it seems to say
I’m glad that my work is through
Night is drawing near
Stars will soon appear
Buildings are beginning to light up their windows
And as for me, I’m glad to be
At peace with the world with you
Chorus
I love to spend the evening
At peace with the world with you
A cozy room, a comf’table chair
And never a care, as long as you’re there
The day may have its worries
For skies are not always blue
But when the day has flown
How sweet to be alone
At peace with the world
In the evening with you
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
