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 gay
For the joy that the day has brought
When the sun goes down
with a flaming ray
And the dear friends have to part
Well, this is the end
the very end of a perfect day
the end of a journey
a long long journey too
But it leaves a thought
that is great big and strong
With a wish that is kind and true
For memory has painted this perfect day
With colours that never fade
And we find at the end
of a perfect day
the thought of a friend
and the heart of a friend
and the soul of a friend we've made
at the day
at the night
at the end of the perfect day
