Sundown (Lay the Day to Bed)

SUNDOWN
(LAY THE DAY TO BED)
Sandy Carroll
Bessie Blue Publishing

Mama in the bath
Purrin’ like a cat
Daddy in the kitchen cookin’
What they stirrin’ up, my my
Neither one of them no rookie

LAY THE DAY TO BED
SUNDOWN
NIGHTTIME UP AHEAD
SUNDOWN COMIN’ ROUND

Walkin’ down the path
Daddy takin’ out the trash
Mama she doin’ the dishes
Rinsin’ out the pot
Her only thought
Is Daddy’s sweet sweet kisses

Waitin’ all day just to be home
Waitin’ all day on the moon
Waitin’ all day cause she knows that
Sundown’s comin’ soon

They try to meditate
Before it gets too late
Day is almost over
Don’t watch no TV
All they really need
Is holdin’ on to each other
