Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do,
and so I'll do the best I can
Life's evening, son,
life's evening, son
It's sinking low, it's sinking low
A few more days, a few more days
And I must go, and I must go
To meet the king, to meet the king
That I have taught, that I have done
Where there will be, where there will be
No setting sun
While traveling down,
life's where we roam,
I'll try to lay some travelers low,
I'll try to turn the nights to day,
make flowers bloom along the way.
Life's evening sun,
life's evening sun,
is sinking low, is sinking low,
a few more days,
a few more days,
and I must go, and I must go,
to meet the deed,
to meet the deed,
that I have done, that I have done,
where there will be, where there will be
no setting sun, no setting sun.
Thank you.
