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
and when the wind blows west from the hills, on these April nights, I think of him,
the boy who surely taught me how to love
showed me how to trust and I gave in
our love it was so strong,it was so deep
and we was young, I was a little bit naive
but still, how I was in his arms for one thousand sundowns
It was a love worth remembering
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
please let me cry in his arms
just once more
for one thousand sundowns
