--------------------------------------------------
Sunbeams are gently fading,
slowly fading,
And birds are waiting to do their
mating,
When eventide is nigh, moonbeams
are descending,
The day is ending, a happy
ending,
The sun is sinking below the
western sky.
Chorus:
Every little breeze is sighing
of love at sundown,
Every little bird is resting and
feather nesting at sundown.
Each little rosebud is sleeping,
while shadows are creeping,
In a little cottage cozy the
world seems rosy at sundown
Where a loving smile will greet
me and always meet me at sundown.
I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven,
When night is falling and love
is calling me home.
Daydreams through fields of
clover, will soon be over,
And happy hours 'mid sunny
flowers will wait another day,
Sweet dreams have just begun,
dear, the day is done, dear,
When skies grow dimmer,
And stars will glimmer along the
starlit way.
Chorus:
Every little breeze is sighing
of love at sundown,
Every little bird is resting and
feather nesting at sundown.
Each little rosebud is sleeping,
while shadows are creeping,
In a little cottage cozy the
world seems rosy at sundown
Where a loving smile will greet
me and always meet me at sundown.
I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven,
When night is falling and love is calling me home.
