come sundown
Singer: sammy davis jr.
i heard the front door closing softly
as i awakened from my sleep
with the last touch of her lips
lord
like a whisper on my cheek
and i cursed the sun for risin'
'cause the worst
lord
was yet to come
'cause this morning
she's just leavin'
but
come sundown
she'll be gone
see the lipstick on the pillow
that i placed beneath her head
and the soft sheets
they still feel warm
lord
where she lay upon my bed
and it hurts to know it's over
for the hurt
lord
has just begun
'cause this morning
she's just leavin'
but
come sundown
she'll be gone
but
come sundown
she'll be gone
