这首歌曲是由女作曲家Carrie Minetta Jacobs-Bond（1862-1946）1909年于加利福尼亚州河滨市（Riverside, California）的一家名叫米申酒店（Mission Inn）的教会酒店中所作。歌词创作于一天黄昏她在位于4楼的酒店房间内欣赏日落时，而曲调则是三个月后漫步于莫哈韦沙漠（Mojave Desert）时所写。这首歌随后成为了她销量最好的一首歌，经翻唱、演绎无数，而米申酒店的钟琴也年复一年，每晚演奏这首歌曲。
原曲歌词如下：
♪A Perfect Day♪
When you come to the end of a Perfect Day
当完美的一天将尽时
And you sit alone with your thought
你孑然独坐陷入沉思
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
当钟声如颂歌般欢快响起
For the joy that the day has brought
只因这完美之日带来的快乐
Do you think what the end of a Perfect Day
你可曾想过完美的一日将尽时
Can mean to a tired heart
对于一颗倦怠的心意味着什么
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray
当日落西沉，晚霞如焰
你是旷野里孤独的树木
你是晴空里突响的霹雷
你是海底里沉静的迷船
你是眼眶中遮掩的谎言
你是雨后纷扬的草木香
你是阳光刺眼下的底色
你是雪中倒映的星光
你是谁
我在等什么
那日日反复眷写的诗句
苍野中的日落星河
枯死扎捆败落的鲜花
低吟的嗓音以及灰暗的胶底
绝望而又忧郁的眼神里
是什么
你来自哪里
又去向何处
是你禁锢我的灵感我的爱意
还是我围困住你的躯体
交织的光影寂寂
我会再遇上你

I scoured the northern shores for you,I plunged deep oceans,
I searched the earths,I climbed moutains for a clearer views,
and then,to finded you.
You are everything,
I was as much your prisoner as you were mine.
Legend has it that if human man falls love with a mermad,she will grow legs.
Legs if she so desires,carry her far,far away from the very man she cast her watery spell upon.
But I ask you this,
"What becomes of the human man?
What becomes of him when has spell remains but she has gone?"
I scoured the northern shores for you. I plunged deep oceans. I searched the earth.I climbed mountains for a clearer view.And then, I found you.
Legend has it that if a human man falls in love with a mermaid, she will grow legs. Legs that will, if she so desires, carry her far, far away from the very man she cast her watery spell upon.
But I ask you this: What becomes of the human man? What becomes of him when her spell remains, but she has gone?
