1000 sundowns

Lyrics

i 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, so do i, so do 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 wrecks 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 miss me too, on these summer nights, i 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 not 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 thousand sundowns, for one thousand sundowns
