WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN [Verse 1] We watched the colors changing Red and gold across the blue You reached your hand toward mine Like you always used to do I knew what you were thinking You knew what I couldn’t say Some beautiful things are only ours Until they fade away [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t wanna fight the night Or beg the sun to stay ’Cause even something beautiful Must sometimes fade away [Chorus] The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Even knowing it won’t last Maybe that’s what makes it beautiful You can’t hold it when it passes And I love you… Lord knows, I still do But the sky can’t hold the sunlight And I can’t keep holding you So I’ll watch these colors disappear Until there’s nothing left to see The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Just like you and me [Verse 2] There doesn’t need to be a villain There doesn’t need to be a fight Sometimes two hearts can love each other And still have to say goodnight So don’t tell me that you’re sorry Don’t promise you’ll come back Just sit beside me one last time Until the blue turns black [Chorus] The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Even knowing it won’t last Maybe that’s what makes it beautiful You can’t hold it when it passes And I love you… Lord knows, I still do But the sky can’t hold the sunlight And I can’t keep holding you So I’ll watch these colors disappear Until there’s nothing left to see The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Just like you and me [Bridge — almost whispered] If I could stop the sun from falling I’d probably try tonight But loving you was never meant To make you lose your light So go… Before I change my mind I’ll stay here with the memory Of when your hand was holding mine [Final Chorus — emotional but restrained] The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Look how slowly daylight dies Funny how the saddest endings Can paint the prettiest skies And I love you… That’s why I’m letting go Somewhere beyond this darkness There’s another morning waiting for us both So don’t turn around to look at me Just leave me with this memory… The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it? Baby… So were we. [Outro — soft reggae groove fading] Mmm… So were we… You were my daylight… And now it’s time… Goodnight.
