The sun is going down and now the day is over
The sun is going down, the sky just couldn't hold her
But rest your eyes, my women sighs, with moonlight on her shoulder
The sun is going down and now the day is over
It's going to be a long, long, long dark night
In the morning I will rise and thank my love for staying
In the morning I will rise and welcome the new day in
But lie awhile, she'll say and smile, before we shake the blanket
In the morning I will rise and thank my love for staying
Through the long, long, long dark night
God bless you, good morning
God bless you, Josephine
