Evening - Lyrics - Faron Young
Faron Young was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' " and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Lying here beside you in the shadows
With your body close to mine
I can't help but wish that I could
Have you here beside me all the time.
Knowing that I cannot keep you
From your going when the day is done
Makes me wish that I was tall enough
To reach the sky and stop the sun.
Now I can see the evening shadows
Slipping silent cross the floor
And I curse the day for comin' to an end
You'll fix your face, comb your hair
And leave my arms once more.
But when tomorrow comes
We'll watch the evening shadows fall again.
When we're here together I don't question
Why you came or why you go
I'm sure you have your reasons
But your being here is all I have to know.
Knowing when you come to me
There's nothing I can do to make you stay
Just like all the other times
You'll leave me at the ending of the day.
Now I can see the evening shadows
Slipping silent cross the floor
And I curse the day for comin' to an end
You'll fix your face, comb your hair
And leave my arms once more.
But when tomorrow comes
We'll watch the evening shadows fall again...
