Met a boy who made me cry
 he said stay away from my kind
 I said I appreciated 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

 But on these summer nights
 When the weather's right
 I miss him by my side
 Oh by my side

 And when the wind blows west 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 was 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 right
 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

 And I know I'll see you 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
