1. Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do the best I can

(Chorus)
Life's evening sun (life's evening sun) is sinking low (is sinking low)
A few more days (a few more days) and I must go (and I must go)
To meet the deeds (to meet the deeds) that I have done (that I have done)
Where there will be (where there will be) no setting sun (no setting sun)

2. While going down life's weary load
I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way

Repeat Chorus
