Verse:

Ev -'ning marks the close of day, Skies of blue be -gin to grey,

Crim -son hues are fad -ing in the West;

Ev -'ning ev -er brings to me Dreams of days that used to be,

Mem -o -ries of those I love the best.

 

Chorus:

When shad-ows fall And trees whis-per day is end-ing,

My thoughts are ev-er wend-ing Home;

When crick-ets call My heart is for-ev-er yearn-ing,

Once more to be re-turn-ing Home.

When the hills con-ceal the set-ing sun,

Stars be-gin a -peep -ing one by one,

Night cov-ers all And, though for-tune may for-sake me,

Sweet dreams will ev-er take me Home
