Lyric -
After the gray of a long dreary day comes the
evening
Peaceful and calm as a sheltering palm is the
evening
Daytime 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"

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 its day's 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"

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.
