Sweet Sundown

How did you compete with such a tragic week

How on earth did you know what to say

And could you taste those tears on my tremblin' lips

When you kissed my blues away

Our time was short but the days were long

I was tired but never too tired for you

What a dragged away goodbye to your birthday girl

When you can’t afford the tickets for two

And when the sundown

Somethin’ up against an autumn sky

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize

Sittin’ on the docks late one evening

Who could miss such a beautiful view

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you

Once the Howard lakes have frozen

And the bats go back to Mexico

The backstreet's are more than poison

One each to someone you used to know

The canyons were grand but I just couldn’t stand

A regret for a rendez' affair

And once that moon went down on your Texas town

It was too late to pretend you cared

And when the sundown

Somethin’ up against an autumn sky

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize

Sittin' on the docks late one evening

Who could miss such a beautiful view

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you

And when the sundown

Somethin’ up against an autumn sky

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize

Sittin’ on the docks late one evening

Who could miss such a beautiful view

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you

Oh, sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you
