Half Past Sunset
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
The screen door finally quit slammin'
The dishes all got put away
Kids are worn out from the day
Dreamin' before they hit the hay
The whippoorwill starts singin'
Crickets tune the evening air
I pull two rockin' chairs together
'Cause I know you'll meet me there
Chorus
Half past sunset
When the whole world slows
Stars start wakin'
And the cool breeze blows
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than right here by your side
Half past sunset...
Feels like home tonight
Verse 2
A little dust still on my boots
You still smell like apple pie
Neither one of us says much
We never really have to try
We'll watch the fireflies dancing
Out beyond the old fence line
Funny how the quiet moments
Stay with you a lifetime
Chorus
Half past sunset
When the whole world slows
Stars start wakin'
And the cool breeze blows
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than right here by your side
Half past sunset...
Feels like home tonight
Bridge
Life spent most the day in a hurry
Chasin' one more thing to do
But every evenin' seems to whisper...
"You made it through."
Final Chorus
Half past sunset
Another day gone by
Thankful for the little things
Money just can't buy
One more porch swing conversation
One more laugh beneath these skies
If tomorrow comes as kindly...
We'll watch another sunset rise
But until then...
This is all I need
Half past sunset...
With you beside me.
