When the day is done ♪ Down to Earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done ♪ When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find that you jumped the gun You have to go back where you began When the day is done When the night is cold Some get by and some get old Just to show, life's not made of gold When the night is cold ♪ When the bird has flown ♪ You got no one to call your own You got no place to call your home When the bird has flown ♪ When the game's been fought
You sped the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through When the day is done ♪ Down to Earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done
