Day Is Done (Taps)

[longblondie99]

We sing a version of this song at guides (day is done gone the sun from seas fron the hills from the sky all is well safely rest god is nigh) :)

Y do they call this Taps?

[redfordforpresident]

@7orca2000 T for the ETs. AP for All points bulletin, calling all occupants of interplanetary craft. Tin men to the rescue of the bulls, abused in bullfights, the Madrid train bombing foretold in the Oscar-winning Disney film Ferdinand. bull-ET-in, mourning is nigh. S for swan song for animal-eating human race. Goose pate, taps, Hitler is an ET, plus his goose-stepping Nazis. Any more questions?

This is the original Day is done, gone the sun From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky All is well, safely rest God is nigh. Fading light dims the sight And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright From afar, drawing near Falls the night. Thanks and praise for our days Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky As we go, this we know God is nigh. Nigh is correct. It's an older term meaning near.

this is wonderful . thanks i knew the words a long time ago and now it is here to refresh my mind

I'm sorry, But I heard no lyrics, but the written ones are incorrect, The correct ones would be: Day is done, gone the sun From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky All is well, safely rest God is near. Fading light dims the sight And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright From afar, drawing near Falls the night. Thanks and praise for our days Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky As we go, this we know God is near.

You FUCKED UP the lyrics, I am a Marine, the lyrics are...... Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, From the hills, From the sky, All is well, Safely rest, God is night.

[tapsbugler]

@highwaymen34 God is nigh (rhymes with sky). But yes the first verse is wrong.

Go to TAPS150(dot)org and click on the TAPS150 CD and you can hear some more settings of Day is Done (with the correct lyrics)

[joanogiff]

@highwaymen34 Actually, it is "God is nigh," meaning near. Not trying to be mean. I just love that particular lyric! Peace!

[chazii14]

Im a girl guide and we sing this at the end of our meetings except we do

Day is done, gone the sun, from the sea, from the hills, from the sky, all is well safely rest god is nigh

[MistyPrincess08]

you really messed the lyrics up... I sing it for 4h all the time and it's not the right words at all maybe here and there

[Mary02493]

Thanks, Wally. Are you planning on adding any accompaniment?
