Just Before Evening Lyrics

As the sun sinks low, I'm leavin' for home
And the mountains stretch their shadows across the plains
The worries of the day, now just fade away
As the evening breeze brings the smell of summer rain

Before the night comes on, after the day is done
You know my favorite time, is just before the evening
That's when I think of you and all that we can do
Oh-oh, the time I love, is just before the evening

As the twilight comes stealin', it's always the same feelin'
Watchin' the daylight fade into the west
I can hear the nighthawks cry, as another day slips slowly by
Evenin' day is the time that I love best

Before the night comes on, after the day is done
You know my favorite time, is just before the evening
That's when I think of you and all that we can do
Oh-oh, the time I love, is just before the evening

So the stars will show their faces
Shining down on open spaces
Each one farther than my eyes can see
It's all unfolding in front of me

Before the night comes on, after the day is done
You know my favorite time, is just before the evening
That's when I think of you and all that we can do
Oh-oh, the time I love, is just before the evening
