[Verse 1: Candi Staton]
Sundown, won't you hurry my way
Close out, all the light of the day
I need you to hold me tight
And the love that we share at night
When you're gone
I'm wondering when
How long till I see you again
So we'll chase our love through the night
Holding on until the morning light

[Chorus: Candi Staton + West Street Mob + together]
Mmmhmm
Morning comes in a hurry
I know that you be leaving soon
I see the dark
And that makes me worry
There you go away with the moon
Ooh baby
Sundown won't you hurry now
Ooh ooh (Nightime is only when you come around)

[Verse 2: Candi Staton]
How long can this love carry on
Here tonight, but tomorrow you're gone
So at night, it's across town to me
Leaving her to be here with me
[Chorus: Candi Staton + West Street Mob + together]
Oh, baby
Morning comеs in a hurry
I know that you, you'll be leaving soon
I see the dark
And that makеs me worry (I worry)
There you go away with the moon

[Bridge: Candi Staton + West Street Mob]
It's no reason to live this way
Here tonight, but you gone today
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Candi Staton + West Street Mob]
Sundown, won't you hurry now (Won't you hurry up sundown)
Sundown, won't you hurry now (Ooh, I need his love so bad)
Sundown, won't you hurry now> (I can't wait till sundown)
Sundown, won't you hurry now> (Come on, sundown)
