the end of a perfect day...



I took this picture from our front yard.
"When you come to the end of a perfect day"
We used to sing this is a song in "glee club"
many, many years ago.

click on song below...it will switch to utube...
The sound of a victrola playing an old recording.


A PERFECT DAY (1909).


Words and Music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1862-1946),

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,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear hearts 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 mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.

this was also sung by Clay Aiken

Many thanks to "cousin" Peggy and her friend Betty who found the words to this song "Perfect Day", that I have been looking for all these years.
