Lyrics
The sun goes down so slowly now The porch boards still feel warm A glass of water, sweating cold The sky is turning to a quiet storm Late summer evening, stay a little while The light is gold and leaving, slow as a smile Late summer evening, hold it in your hand The night is coming softly, softly, understand The neighbours' windows glow like lamps Somebody laughs next door The crickets start their small refrain And I don't need anything more Late summer evening, stay a little while The light is gold and leaving, slow as a smile Late summer evening, hold it in your hand The night is coming softly, softly, understand Every year it ends the same A little cooler, a little late But tonight the air is warm And the whole world can wait Late summer evening, stay a little while The light is gold and leaving, slow as a smile Late summer evening, hold it in your hand The night is coming softly, softly, understand Stay a little while Stay a little while
