The Canadian Soldiers' Song Book/A Perfect Day
45—A PERFECT DAY
When you come to the end of a perfect day,And you sit alone with your thought,While the chimes ring out with a carol gayFor the joy that the day has brought,Do you think what the end of a perfect dayCan mean to a tired heart,When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,Near the end of a journey too,But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,With a wish that is kind and true.For memory has painted this perfect dayWith colors that never fade,And we find at the end of a perfect dayThe soul of a friend we've made.
