Lyrics
- Sunbeams are gently fading, slowly fading
And birds are waiting to do their mating
When eventide is nigh
Moonbeams are descending
The day is ending, a happy ending
The sun is sinking below the western sky
Chorus
Every little breeze is sighing of love undying at sundown
Every 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
- Daydreams through 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
