When The Sun Goes Down

(album: In The Heights: A New Musical - 2008)

[BENNY:]
When the sun goes down
You're gonna need a flashlight
You're gonna need a candle...

[NINA:]
I think I can manage that

[BENNY:]
When you leave town
I'm gonna buy you a calling card

[BENNY/NINA:]
'Cuz I'm falling hard for you

[NINA:]
I go back on Labor Day

[BENNY:]
And I will try to make my way

[BENNY/NINA:]
Out west to California

[BENNY:]
So we've got this summer

[NINA:]
And we've got each other
Perhaps even longer

[BENNY:]
When you're on your own
And suddenly without me
Will you forget about me?

[NINA:]
I couldn't if I tried

[BENNY:]
When I'm all alone
And I close my eyes

[BENNY/NINA:]
That's when I'll see your face again

[BENNY:]
And when you're gone
You know that I'll be waiting when you're gone

[NINA:]
But you're here with me right now...

[BENNY:]
We'll be working hard, but if we should drift apart

[NINA:]
Benny...

[BENNY:]
Lemme take this moment just to say...

[NINA:]
No, no...

[BENNY:]
You are gonna change the world some day...

[NINA:]
I'll be thinking of home...

[BENNY/NINA:]
And I'll think of you every night
At the same time...

[BENNY:]
When the sun goes down

[NINA:]
When the sun goes down

[BENNY:]
When the sun goes down
