Met a boy who made me cry He said \"stay away from my kind\" I said I appreciate his honesty and I Stayed away for a while
Then he cried and I laughed on the telephone And we talked for hours He says he wants to be a rock-star, well so do I So I guess it would never work out
But on these summer nights When the weather's fine I miss him by my side Oh by my side
And when the wind blows wrecks from the hills On these April nights, I think of him Oh the boy who surely taught me how to love Showed me how to trust And I gave in
And oh our love it was so strong It was so deep And we were young And I was a little bit naive
But still how I was in his arms for one thousand sundowns It was a love worth remembering
And on these summer nights When the weather's fine I miss him by my side Oh by my side
And oh, my darling Please say you miss me too On these summer nights You miss me by your side
I know, I know I'll see your face at the gates of heaven When it's my time to go But oh Lord please do not pass judgment on us We were but young and full of love And oh please let me cry in his arms Just once more For one thousand sundowns For one thousand sundowns
