I'm looking for a song that I learned in seminary 20 years ago.
If anyone could kindly feel in the missing parts.

Is there anybody happier, because they crossed their path with you?
Is there anyone .....

CHORUS
Did you make they day or ... it?
.....
As you close your eyes in slumber,
Do you think Hahsem will say
You have earnwd another tomorrow,
Based on the things you did today

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?

Does a man whose hopes were failing now with promise look ahead?

Chorus

Is....

Let’s see what I remember

Is anybody happier because you passed his way
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today
The day is almost over
And toiling time is through

Is there anyone to utter now
A kindly word of you

Did you make the day or lose it
Was it well or sorely spent
Did you leave a trail of kindness
Or a scar? Of of discontent
As you close your eyes in slumber
Do you think hashem will say
You have earned one more tomorrow
By the work you did today

Can you say tonight in parting with the day that’s slipping fast
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said
Does that man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead

Chorus

And I can remember anymore

Thank you so very much to all of you.

After Yom Tov and terrible war that we're going through, I thought of writing up the lyrics and hanging it up on a door in the apartment.

Hopefully, the kids will internalize the message, and perhaps it will change the atmosphere in this household.

And even if not, it's a good reminder for me.

Thank you all.

This is the version I know (it’s a song based off a poem that was linked to above):

Is anybody happier because you passed her way
Does anyone remember that you spoke to her today
The day is almost over and the sky is turning dim
Did you ask yourself of anyone what can I do for him

As life goes on so quickly as the days slip by so fast
Did you help a single sister of the many that you passed
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said
Does one whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead

Did you make the day or lose it, was it well or sorely spent
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent
As you travel through life’s pathways, where does your journey lead
Did you see the pain of others in the plight of those in need

When you meet another person, do his needs become your goal
Do his joys and sorrows resonate somewhere deep within your soul
Will he testify about you when your life’s journey is through
That your vision went much deeper ..? beyond you

Do you see them at your doorstep, they’re just waiting to be found
Treasures glistening and shining, opportunities abound
When you close your eyes in slumber, do you think Hashem will say
You have earned one more tomorrow by the things you did today

What impression is remaining in the places that you went
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent
If you live to do for others, then you will have found the key
To a life of peace and happiness and to eternity

My memory is:
Is anybody happier
Because you passed their way?
Does anyone remember that
You spoke to them today?

Is a single heart rejoicing
Over what you did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were failing
Now with courage look ahead?

Chorus:
Did you make the day or lose it (or possibly did you waste the day or use it)
Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness?
Or a scar of discontent?
And as you close your eyes in slumber
Do you think Hashem will say
You have earned one more tomorrow
By the things you did today

I don't have the second part so clear, but I think it's something like this:
Can you say today in confidence
With the time that's slipping fast
That you helped a single brother
Of the many that you passed
Oh the day is almost over
And the toiling time is through
Is there anyone to utter now
A kindly word of you
