Lyrics
[verse]
I watch the little ones out on the lawn,
Chasing laughter from the break of dawn,
I've done that too, not long ago,
Where does the laughter go.
[chorus]
And the evening falls,
Softly, out of sight,
And I sit alone,
While it fades to night.
[verse]
It is the time of year that turns,
The lamplight in the window burns,
I hear the birds go quiet above,
I wonder where I lost my love.
[bridge]
All of the things I used to do,
They fade like footprints in the dew,
I'm sitting here so still and quiet, watching all the world outside.
[chorus]
And the evening falls,
Softly, out of sight,
And I sit alone,
While it fades to night.
