[Verse 1]
The golden crown of setting sun-goes-down
And soon all over town the lights will glisten
And she'll listen impatiently for me to turn the key
And very soon she'll be back in my arms

[Bridge]
And my darling there will stay
'till the sun comes up behind the hill
Then when I must go away
I won't live again until

[Verse 2]
The purple light of evening fills the night
As day drops out of sight my dreams will flower
For the hour is coming when I'll hurry home and then
I'll take her once again back in my arms

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
And my darling there will stay
'till the sun comes up behind the hill
Then when I must go away
I won't live again until
[Verse 2]
The purple light of evening fills the night
As day drops out of sight my dreams will flower
For the hour is coming when I'll hurry home and then
I'll take her once again back in my arms
