A PERFECT DAY

When you come to the end
of a perfect day, and you sit
alone with your thought, while
chimes ring out with carol gay,
for the joy that day has brought,
do you think what the end of a
perfect day can 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 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.
