I see her when the sun is high

The clouds write her name across the sky

But, the boss man is giving me the eye

I'd better go to work, but I'll see her by and by



At sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart

Gonna hold her so tight

At sunset I'm gonna see my baby

My baby tonight



I see the shadows on the run

I see the setting of the sun

At last my working day is done

The setting of the sun has finally come



It's sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart

Gonna hold her so tight

It's sunset I'm gonna see my baby

My baby tonight



I see her in the twighlight standing there

The wind softly stirring in her hair

The sweetest fruit the earth can bear

So young so warm and so rare



It's sunset, at last I'm with my sweetheart

I'm holding her tight

It's sunset and now I'm with my baby

And she is mine tonight
