Sun's Going Down
The Outsiders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun's going down
To soon the dark has come
I wish today would never end
'Cause tomorrow tomorrow you'll be gone.

Sun's going down
Moon's rising the sky
I wish today would never end
'Cause tomorrow i will cry.

Sun's going down
My love for you will last
I wish today will never end
'Cause tomorrow i'll be dreaming of the past.

And you, i'll be dreaming of you
'Cause i love you, yes i love you.
Yes i love you

Wat een top clip bij een top nummer! Als Quentin Tarantino deze hit hoort dan maakt hij er een film van!

@4712POMMES

listen to the interpretation of Mr. Airplane Man, that's a lovely version

@marrrrrrks

That one is good if not better than this one, but they are both fantastic in their own ways.
