Peter, Paul And Mary - Day Is Done Lyrics






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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

    Superb singing, wonderful song!! I loved it the first time around, and I'm delighted to be singing along to this song many years later. Thank you Peter, Paul and Mary!

  13. r.... s....

  15. E.... B....

    ppm in the 80s

  16. G.... B....

    Thank you! 🌹❤🌹

  17. C.... R....

    Does anyone know the date they played this? 2015? I see all the little kids in the audience singing it along word for word. There's a decades difference in age between the little ones and PP&M, and it's wonderful to see. I was a child of the 60's being 10 in 1962. I grew up loving these groups (along with the Seekers(!). In 1971 left home and the BeeGees hit it big. I was in Washington, DC and found another obsession. DISCO girl! What a great time to grow up in!

    C.... R....

    Carol Ricucci It was 1992, released in 1993

    C.... R....

    Recorded October 30 and November 1,1992 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

    I will miss Mary forever.

  19. E.... B....

    E.... B....

    Edward Baggett Myself included. At the age of 5, this was MY introduction to Peter, Paul, and Mary. I am now 30 and have been a fan ever since!

  20. S.... P....

    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

    Refrain:
    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

    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

    (Refrain)

    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?

    I think they performed this song at the Nov. 1969 Moratorium on the Vietnam War protest on the Mall in Washington DC. Really inspired the half a million protesters there.

  30. j.... ....

    This song was written during the unrest of the Vietnam War, but the words resonate now even more than ever.

    j.... ....

    I get it and peace is good but you have to have balls and backbone to maintain a peaceful society..."people sleep safely in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalfs..."

  31. s.... ....

    back when those proclaiming peace where actually peaceful. millenials could learn a thing or two from the past. great song

    I don't know how boomers have such a knack for turning something that's completely not divisive into an argument. You'd be angsty too if you had to deal with a bunch of boomers. You guys were spoiled rotten as kids, apparently never went to school, and now sit here giving advice like you have anything worthwhile to say. You tanked every major market and life in the US is significantly more difficult because of your generations selfishness and we still have to pay for your no good leeches in your retirements. Ugh.

  32. T.... S....

    Amazing song!
