A perfect day (midi)

G - C - D - D7

G C D G

1. When you come to the end of a perfect day,

C G - D

and you sit alone with your thought,

G C D Em

while the chimes ring out with a carol gay,

A A7 D

for the joy that the day has brought.

D7 G

Do you think what the end of a perfect day,

A A7 D - D7

can mean to tired heart,

G C D Em

when the sun goes down with a flaming ray,

Am D G

and the dear hearts have to part?

B7 - Em - D - G E - A - F# - D - D7

G C D G

2. Well, this is the end of a perfect day,

C G - D

near the end of a journey, too,

G C D Em

but it leaves a thought that is big and strong,

A A7 D

with a wish that is kind and true.

D7 G

For mem'ry has painted this perfect day,

A A7 D - D7

with colors that never fade,

G C D Em

and we find at the end of a perfect day,

Am D G

the soul of a friend we've made.
