At Sundown 1927

Sun beams are gently fading
slowly fading
and birds are waiting
to do their mating
when eventide is nigh.
Moon beams are descending
the day is ending
a happy ending;
the sun is sinking
below the western sky

Ev'ry little breeze is sighing
of love undying
at Sundown;
ev'ry little bird
is resting and feather nesting
at Sundown;
Each little rosebud is sleeping
while shadows are creeping
in a little cottage cosy
the world seems rosy
at Sundown;
Where a loving smile
will greet me
and always meet me
at Sundown;
I seem to sigh:
"I'm in heaven"
when night is falling
and love is calling me home.

Ev'ry little breeze is sighing
of love undying
at Sundown;
ev'ry little bird
is resting and feather nesting
at Sundown;
Each little rosebud is sleeping
while shadows are creeping
in a little cottage cosy
the world seems rosy
at Sundown;
Where a loving smile
will greet me
and always meet me
at Sundown;
I seem to sigh:
"I'm in heaven"
when night is falling
and love is calling me home.

Day dreams thro' fields of clover
will soon be over
and happy hours
'mid sunny flowers
will wait another day.
Sweet dreams
have just begun, dear,
the day is done, dear,
when skies grow dimmer
and stars will glimmer
along the starlit way.

Ev'ry little breeze is sighing
of love undying
at Sundown;
ev'ry little bird
is resting and feather nesting
at Sundown;
Each little rosebud is sleeping
while shadows are creeping
in a little cottage cosy
the world seems rosy
at Sundown;
Where a loving smile
will greet me
and always meet me
at Sundown;
I seem to sigh:
"I'm in heaven"
when night is falling
and love is calling me home.

Ev'ry little breeze is sighing
of love undying
at Sundown;
ev'ry little bird
is resting and feather nesting
at Sundown;
Each little rosebud is sleeping
while shadows are creeping
in a little cottage cosy
the world seems rosy
at Sundown;
Where a loving smile
will greet me
and always meet me
at Sundown;
I seem to sigh:
"I'm in heaven"
when night is falling
and love is calling me home.
