- 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.
