Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunbeams are are gently fading slowly fading
And birds are waiting to do their mating
When eventide is nigh.
Moon beams are descending
The day is ending
A happy ending
The sun is sinking below the western sky.
Every little
[Verse 2]
Day dreams thru fields of clover will soon be over
And happy hours mid sunny flowers will wait another day.
Sweet dreams have just begun, dear, the day is done, dear,
When skies grow dimmer and stars will glimmer along the star-lit way.
Every little
[Chorus]
Breeze is sighing of love undying at sundown
Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown
Each little rose bud 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.
Ev'ry little home.
