It's Joy To Say Good Evening 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Sep 2004

Dear little miss, give me a kiss,
then I must go away.
Don't pain your heart
'cause we must part,
It's only for a day.
Parting is sweet,
for we will meet
when evening comes again.
I must leave but, dearie, don't grieve,
just love your boy 'till then:

It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.
It hurts when you are leaving,
but the meeting brings delight.
So, dearie, don't be grieving;
for my love will make it right.
It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.

It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.
It hurts when you are leaving,
but the meeting brings delight.
So, dearie, don't be grieving;
for my love will make it right.
It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.

Dear little maid, don't be afraid
that I'm not staunch and true.
Through all the day, I work away,
longing to be with you.
I never shirk when I'm at work,
tho' it is far from play,
my success means our happiness,
then I won't have to say.

It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.
It hurts when you are leaving,
but the meeting brings delight.
So, dearie, don't be grieving;
for my love will make it right.
It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.

It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.
It hurts when you are leaving,
but the meeting brings delight.
So, dearie, don't be grieving;
for my love will make it right.
It's joy to say Good Evening,
but it's pain to say Good Night.
