Evening - Clifford T. Ward

Those few times good fortune came to call

And all those days bad luck set in for keeps

If there were one that I could re-arrange

How much would I alter, how much would I change?

I’ll take an evening, best time of the day

When the sun had gone, and the rain was settin' in

That’s my evening, one that’s always there

How I sat and wondered, why you said goodbye

And left me here to fall

If all the light and love that we both shared

Meant as much to you as they still mean to me

Then all we need to set it all to rights

Are just four words, and I’ll be by your side

But there’s still evening, best time of the day

When the sun has gone, and the rain is settin' in

It’s still my evening, one I can’t forget

How I sit and wonder, why you shook your head

And left me here to fall
