Sometimes love can sure get lost in the daytime And working eight long hours you're only a picture in my mind But when we're finally alone in each others arms our love is found And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down. What goes on when the sun goes down Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns What goes on when the sun goes down Makes the every day life of two people in love go round. Every morning with love renewed we face another day Screen doors banging, the boss complaining and bills to pay Through it all we wear love's smile from the happiness we've found And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down. What goes on when the sun goes down Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns What goes on when the sun goes down Makes the every day life of two people in love go round. What goes on when the sun goes down Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns What goes on when the sun goes down Makes the every day life of two people in love go round. Makes the every day life of two people in love go round
