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

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 think of him

Oh the boy who surely taught me how to love

Showed me how to trust and I gave in

And our love it was strong, it was so deep

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 miss me too

On these summer nights

You miss me by your side

And I know I'll see your face at the gates of heaven

When it's my turn to go

But oh Lord, please do no pass judgment on us

We were but young and full of love

And oh, please let me cry in his arms just once more

For one thousands sundowns
