I see her when the sun is high
   The clouds write her name across the sky
   But, the boss man is giving me the eye
   I'd better go to work, but I'll see her by and by
  
   At sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart
   Gonna hold her so tight
   At sunset I'm gonna see my baby
   My baby tonight
  
   I see the shadows on the run
   I see the setting of the sun
   At last my working day is done
   The setting of the sun has finally come
  
   It's sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart
   Gonna hold her so tight
   It's sunset I'm gonna see my baby
   My baby tonight
  
   I see her in the twighlight standing there
   The wind softly stirring in her hair
   The sweetest fruit the earth can bear
   So young so warm and so rare
  
   It's sunset, at last I'm with my sweetheart
   I'm holding her tight
   It's sunset and now I'm with my baby
   And she is mine tonight
