In the evening
In the evening, darling
When the sun goes down

In the evening
When the sun goes down
It's so lonesome and lonesome
When the one you love is not around

Last night I was laying sleeping, darling
All by myself
Last night I was laying sleeping, darling
All by myself
And the one I really really love
He was laying somewhere else

The sun rises in the east
It sets down over in the west
Sun rises in the east, darling
It sets down over in the west
It's so hard, so hard to tell
Who's gonna love you the best

Goodbye, oh my old sweethearts and pals
I'm goin' away, I may come back to see you, darling
Some old rainy rainy day
Oh, in the evening, in the evening, darling
Maybe when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
