Day Is Done

Peter, Paul and Mary

1. Tell me why you're crying my son
   I know you're frightened like everyone
   is it the thunder in the distance you fear
   will it help if I stay very near  I am here.

R: And if you take my hand my son
   all will be well when the day is done
   and if you take my hand my son
   all will be well when the day is done.
*: Day is done day is done day is done day is done.

2. Do you ask why I'm sighing my son
   you shall inherit what mankind has done
   in a world filled with sorrow and woe
   if you ask me why this is so I really don't know.
R:

3. Tell me why you're smiling my son
   is there a secret you can tell everyone
   do you know more than men that are wise
   can you see what we all must disguise through your loving eyes?
R:
