When That Evening Sun Goes Down

Van Morrison · Other Songs - Van Morrison

I want you, be around

When that evening sun goes down

I want you, be around

Keep my both feet on the ground

When that evening sun goes down



I want you, understand, little girl, take me by my hand

I want you, understand, I wanna be your loving man



When that evening sun goes down

If it's nice, we'll go for a walk, a stroll in the clear moonlight

Singing a song, won't take long

Everything gonna be alright and I wanna hold you oh so near

Keep you, darling from all fear I wanna hold you oh so near

Nibble on your little ear



When that evening sun goes down

If it's nice, go for a walk, stroll in the clear moonlight

Sing you a song, won't take long

Everything gonna be alright and I wanna hold you oh so near

Keep you, darling from all fear I wanna hold you oh so near

Nibble on your little ear



When that evening sun goes down

When that evening sun goes down
