| ||||||
Taps is a military theme, usually played on bugle or trumpet and used to signify lights out. The song was arranged by General Daniel Butterfield who based it on an earlier song called Scott Tattoo. Gen. Butterfield first ordered the song to be played in July of 1862 during the American Civil War. In addition to a call for lights out, Taps has also been used to conclude military funerals.

Lyrics
There have been several various lyrics written for the song, but the official lyrics to Taps were written by Horace Lorenzo Trim.
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.
