When The Last Sun Goes Down
Lisa Stansfield · Face Up [2001]
And this I promise if this you will allow
You and me for eternity
As it was and is and ever shall be
'Cos baby when the last sun goes down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down
With my heart I give you all I have
So say you're always on my side
Say I'm your first and your last
You and me for eternity
As it was and is and ever shall be
'Cos baby when the last sun goes down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down
Every time I'm with you baby
Every time you're touching my soul
Its a love so dear to me
Every time you're near I lose control
And baby when the last sun does down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down
