Sweet Sundown Lyrics - Translated From Love - Kelly Willis

How did you compete with such a tragic week 

How on earth did you know what to say 

And could you taste those tears on my tremblin' lips 

When you kissed my blues away 

Our time was short but the days were long 

I was tired but never too tired for you 

What a dragged away goodbye to your birthday girl 

When you cant afford the tickets for two 

And when the sundown 

Somethin up against an autumn sky 

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize 

Sittin on the docks late one evening 

Who could miss such a beautiful view 

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you 

Once the Howard lakes have frozen 

And the bats go back to Mexico 

The backstreet's are more than poison 

One each to someone you used to know 

The canyons were grand but I just couldnt stand 

A regret for a rendez' affair 

And once that moon went down on your Texas town 

It was too late to pretend you cared 

And when the sundown 

Somethin up against an autumn sky 

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize 

Sittin' on the docks late one evening 

Who could miss such a beautiful view 

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you 

And when the sundown 

Somethin up against an autumn sky 

Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize 

Sittin on the docks late one evening 

Who could miss such a beautiful view 

Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you 

Oh, sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you
