When the Day is Slowly Waning

When the day is slowly waning
When the cold of night is nigh
When all we have to say has been said
It is time to say goodbye

Words inadequate to the task ahead
Are all I have to offer you
We hope that they will warm and comfort
Until the night is done and through

Parting always is the hardest
But one day soon we'll meet again
In another place not far away
And we will speak of new things then

Distances may separate us
Time may conspire to whisk away
But someday soon we'll be together
And so we wait for that great day
