1000 Sundowns - Emma Louise

Met a boy who made me cry

He said stay away from my kind

I said I appreciate his honesty and I

Stayed away for a while

Then he cried and I laughed on the telephone

And we talked for hours

He says he wants to be a rock-star

Well so do I

So I guess it would never work out

But on these summer nights

When the weather’s right

I miss him by my side

Oh by my side

And when the wind blows west from the hills

On these April nights, I’ll think of him

Oh the boy who surely taught me how to love

Showed me how to trust

And I gave in

And oh our love it was so strong

It was so deep

And we were young

And I was a little bit naive

But still how I was in his arms for one thousand sundowns

It was a love worth remembering

And on these summer nights

When the weather’s right

I miss him by my side

Oh by my side

And oh, my darling

Please say you miss me too

On these summer nights

I miss me by your side

And I know I’ll see you face at the gates of heaven

When it’s my turn to go

But oh Lord please do not pass judgment on us

We were but young and full of love

And oh please let me cry in his arms

Just once more

For one thousand sundowns

For one thousand sundowns
