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 romantic ballad that captures the singer's longing for a lost love. The verse "When day is done, and shadows fall / I dream of you!" sets the melancholic tone of the song, creating an atmosphere of sadness and nostalgia. The singer remembers the joyous moments he shared with his lover, and the memory of those happy moments brings him pain as he realizes that he can no longer experience them.
The chorus "That yearning, returning, / To hold you in my arms, / Won't go love, I know love, / Without you, night has lost its charms!" reveals the depth of the singer's emotions. He admits that he can't let go of his love, and without her, his nights are empty and meaningless. The verse "When day is done / And grass is wet / With twilight's dew, / My lonely heart is sinking / With the sun!" reinforces the idea of loneliness and heartache, painting a picture of a desolate landscape where the singer is left to face the twilight hours alone, with nothing to comfort him.
The final verse "Although I miss your tender kiss / The whole day through, / I miss you most of all / When day is done!" brings the song to a poignant conclusion, emphasizing the singer's perceived emptiness and the longing for a love that is now out of reach.

When day is done
At the end of the day
And shadows fall
As darkness sets in
I dream of you!
You are my recurring dream
When day is done
Once the day has come to a close
I think of all
I remember all
The joys we knew!
All the happy memories we created
That yearning, returning,
I constantly crave your return
To hold you in my arms,
To wrap my arms around you
Won't go love, I know love,
I cannot let go because I love you
Without you, night has lost it's charms!
My nights are incomplete without you
When day is done
At the end of the day
And grass is wet
As the dew settles on the grass
With twilight's dew,
In the midst of the twilight
My lonely heart is sinking
I feel the weight of loneliness
With the sun!
As the sun sets
Although I miss your tender kiss
I yearn for your gentle kiss
The whole day through,
Every moment of the day
I miss you most of all
You are missed the most
When day is done!
At the end of the day
Although I miss your tender kiss,
I yearn for your gentle kiss
The whole day through,
Every moment of the day
I miss you most of all
You are missed the most
When day is done!
At the end of the day
