Sunset
Air Supply · Air Supply 1985 [1985]
Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time, the day is too end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again
But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you
Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do.
Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call
But now to lose your love
The charm throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone
I have memories enough
To help me find my way
To bring back all the love we've known
Tells us that it's time, the day is too end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again
But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you
Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do.
Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call
But now to lose your love
The charm throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone
I have memories enough
To help me find my way
To bring back all the love we've known
