Lyrics When the Sun Goes Down - Christopher Jackson, Mandy Gonzalez

When the Sun Goes Down

BENNY
When the sun goes down
You’re gonna need a flashlight
You’re gonna need a candle-
NINA
I think I can manage that
BENNY
When you leave town
I’m gonna buy you a calling card
NINA/BENNY
Cuz I am falling hard for you
NINA
I go back on Labor Day
BENNY
And I will try to make my way
BENNY/NINA
Out west to California
BENNY
We’ve got this summer
NINA
And we’ve got each other
Perhaps even longer
BENNY
When you’re on your own
And suddenly without me
Will you forget about me?
NINA
I couldn’t if I tried
BENNY
When I’m all alone and I close my eyes
BENNY/NINA
That’s when I’ll see your face again
BENNY
And when you’re gone
You know that I’ll be waiting
When you’re gone
NINA
But you’re here with me right now
BENNY
We’ll be working hard, but if we should drift apart
NINA
Benny-
BENNY
Lemme take this moment just to say
NINA
No, no-
BENNY
You are gonna change the world someday
NINA
I’ll be thinking of home
BENNY/NINA
And I’ll think of you every night
At the same time
BENNY
When the sun goes down
NINA
When the sun goes down
BENNY
When the sun goes down
