The Day is Past and Gone by Aretha Franklin Lyrics
[Verse]
The day is past and gone
The evening shades appear
May we all, may we remember, remember well
For the night of death draws now
We lay our garments, our garments by
Upon our beds to rest
For death shall disrobe, it's gonna disrobe us all
Of all, of all we, what we possess
Wonder if you know, I wonder if you mind, I wanna know why
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
For death shall disrobe, disrobe us all
Lord, Lord, Lord, oh oh...
The day is past and gone
The evening shades appear
May we all, may we remember, remember well
For the night of death draws now
We lay our garments, our garments by
Upon our beds to rest
For death shall disrobe, it's gonna disrobe us all
Of all, of all we, what we possess
Wonder if you know, I wonder if you mind, I wanna know why
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
For death shall disrobe, disrobe us all
Lord, Lord, Lord, oh oh...
