It's been a hard day's knight, in white satin, don't reach the end.
It's been a hard day's knight, letters I've written, don't mean to send.
The truth is you I adore, beauty did not see before
Because I love you, all right.

You know I gaze at folks, some of them walking hand in hand
And just what they are going through, you know they cannot
understand
Some try to tell 'em to me, but you will be what you'll be
And that is all right by me

So breathe deep all of the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from each and every room, oh yeah!

It's been a hard day's knight, in white satin, look back, lament.
It's been a hard day's knight, today is useless, energy's spent.
The lovers they do the twist, a lonely man strains his wrist
But you and me are tight.

A new mom picks up and suckles her son
The old folks, they wish that they were still young, young yeah!

It's been a hard day's knight in white satin, cold-hearted orb.
It rules the night and then throws all of the color out the door.
But red is grey, yellow white, illusions? No that's not right
It's time for a rewrite, it's time for a rewrite
It's time for a rewrite
