(Bill Mack - Rose Maddox)

I go out in the evening paint up the town
I'm No. 1 with all the fellas as they show me around
But I'm crying my heart out so I'm acting the clown
Oh gee, how I miss you when the sun goes down.

I whisper your name as I gaze at the stars
Wondering darling, where you are
Though others may hold me you still wear the crown
Oh gee, how I miss you when the sun goes down.

--- Instrumental ---

I miss your sweet charm that made my heart pound
I miss the sweet kisses that held me swell bound
I miss you in the morning and when moon rolls around
But most of all I miss you when the sun goes down.

When I go out dancing I never frown
The people all say I'm the talk of the town
But inside my heart is burning cause another you found
Oh gee, how I miss you when the sun goes down...
