Verse:
Sunbeams are gently fading, Slowly fading,  And birds are waiting,
To do their mating, When eventide is nigh.
Moonbeams are descending, Day is ending,  A happy ending,
The sun is sinking, Below the western sky.
 
Chorus:
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 cozy 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.
