Come Sundown
The Rat Pack Lyrics

I heard the front door closing softly
I became aware of the gentle sound of the front door closing

As I awakened from my sleep
As I slowly emerged from my slumber

With the last touch of her kips, Lord
Feeling the lingering sensation of her lips upon mine

Like a whisper on my cheek
Like a soft, intimate murmur against my skin

And I cursed the sun for risin'
I resented the sun's ascent on the horizon

'Cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come
Because the most painful moments were still awaiting

'Cause this morning, she's just leavin'
Because in the present moment, she's merely departing

But, come sundown, she'll be gone
However, when evening arrives, she will have completely disappeared

See the lipstick on the pillow
Notice the mark of her lipstick on the pillow

That I placed beneath her head
Which I carefully positioned beneath her resting head

And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord
And the cozy sheets still retain her warmth

Where she lay upon my bed
Where she peacefully rested on my bed

And it hurts to know it's over
And it pains me to acknowledge that it has ended

For the hurt, Lord, has just begun
Because the emotional agony has only just commenced

'Cause this morning, she's just leavin'
Because in the present moment, she's simply departing

But, come sundown, she'll be gone
However, when evening arrives, she will have completely disappeared
