1000 Sundowns

Met a boy who made me cry He said stay away from my kind I said I appreciate his honesty and I Stayed away for a while Then he cried and I laughed on the telephone And we talked for hours He says he wants to be a rock-star Well so do I So I Guess it would never work out But on these Summer nights When the weather’s right I miss him by my side    Oh by my side And when the wind blows west from the hills On these April nights I’ll think of him     Oh the boy who surely taught me how to love Showed me how to trust And I gave in         And oh our love it was so strong It was so deep And we were young And I was a little bit naive But still how I was in his arms for one thousand sundowns It was a love worth remembering And on these Summer nights When the weather’s right     I miss him by my side Oh by my side And oh my darling Please say you’ll miss me too        On these summer nights You’ll miss me by your side   And I know I’ll see you face at the gates of heaven When it’s my turn to go But oh Lord please do not pass judgement on us We were but young and full of love And oh please let me cry in his arms Just once more For one thousand sundowns For one thousand sundowns
