When Day Is Done
Biréli Lagrène Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And shadows fall
I dream of you!
When day is done
I think of all
The joys we knew!
To hold you in my arms,
Won't go love, I know love,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!
When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinking
With the sun!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
The song "When Day is Done" by Biréli Lagrène is a wistful ballad that speaks about the deep longing and yearning for a lost love. The lyrics describe how the singer dreams of their love when the day is done and shadows fall, and reflects on the joys they once shared. The feeling of longing is so strong that the singer cannot let go, they want to hold their love in their arms and feel complete. The absence of their love is like a gaping hole in their heart that cannot be filled. The grass is wet with twilight's dew, and the singer's heart sinks with the sun. They miss their love's tender kiss the whole day through, but the most intense feeling of missing someone is when the day is done.
The song is a classic jazz standard that has been covered by many artists since it was first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1931. The lyrics were written by Buddy DeSylva and the music was composed by Robert Katscher. The song was also featured in the 1933 film "Sleeping Car" and in the 1991 film "The Rocketeer".

When day is done
At the end of the day
And shadows fall
When darkness sets in
I dream of you!
I imagine myself with you
When day is done
At the end of the day
I think of all
I remember with fondness
The joys we knew!
The happy moments we shared
That yearning, returning,
The strong desire, repeating,
To hold you in my arms,
To embrace you closely,
Won't go love, I know love,
Will not disappear, my dear,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!
Without you, the night is not delightful.
When day is done
At the end of the day
And grass is wet
And the grass is damp
With twilight's dew,
With the moisture of the evening,
My lonely heart is sinking
My sad heart is heavy
With the sun!
As the sun sets!
Although I miss your tender kiss
Despite my longing for your gentle touch
The whole day through,
All day long,
I miss you most of all
I miss you above all else
When day is done!
At the end of the day!
Although I miss your tender kiss
Despite my longing for your gentle touch
The whole day through,
All day long,
I miss you most of all
I miss you above all else
When day is done!
At the end of the day!
