Now lately, I've been wonderin', honey, why you don't come home
At the end of the day when your work is through?
So yesterday, when the sun went down
The moon rose on your trail
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a gleam in your eye that somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on a jukebox, sip on a cool one
Hang around a place where you just might find one
It dawned on me what sundown does to you

Now honey, you know sundown falls on everyone
When I say everyone, well, that includes me too
So tonight when that old moon comes out
You can bet I'll be out too
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a gleam in your eye that somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on a jukebox, sip on a cool one
Hang around a place where you just might find one
It dawned on me what sundown does to you

Well, it dawned on me what sundown does to you
