Hear the evening breezes start to blowing

See the evening shadows start to come

Listen to the nightbirds start their singing

Now the sounds of night have just begun

A lonely hootowl cries out in the darkness

For its mate that's nowhere to be found

Then a lonesome whippoorwill starts calling

Their lonely voices fill the night with sound

Hear the church bell ringing in the distance

What a mournful sound so late at night

Wonder why the darkness makes it sound so lonesome

Listen to the lonely sounds of night

The darkness seems to whisper in the silence

Your love is gone but things will be all right

Still my lonely heart cries with the darkness

Listening to the lonely sounds of night

Hear the church bell ringing in the distance

What a mournful sound so late at night

Wonder why the darkness makes it sound so lonesome

Listen to the lonely sounds of night
