We gave the day up to a back road   And let it take us out of town   To a spot down by the river   To watch the sun go down      We must have sat and talked for hours   Not giving in to the night   And that day I saw the sunset   In a whole new light      Now the stars came out like diamonds   On a deep blue satin sky   He said from where he stood   Honey, you sure look good   In sunset red and pale moonlight      Later we pulled out the blanket   When we felt the evening chill   Oh and he wrapped his arms around me   That's when time stood still      Now the stars came out like diamonds   On a deep blue satin sky   He said from where he stood   Honey, you sure look good   In sunset red and pale moonlight      Now the stars came out like diamonds   On a deep blue satin sky   He said from where he stood   Honey, you sure look good   In sunset red and pale moonlight   In sunset red and pale moonlight
