Lady Of The Evening 1922 Irving Berlin

After the grey
of a long dreary day
comes the evening.
Peaceful and calm
as a sheltering palm
is the evening.
Day time 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.

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."

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.

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.
