Lyrics
- After the gray of a long dreary day
Comes the evening
Peaceful and calm as a sheltering palm
Is the evening
Day time 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”
Chorus
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
- After the sun, when it’s days 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”
