Evenin’ - Count Basie & His Orchestra, Jimmy Rushing

Evening, every night you come and you find me

And you always remind me that my baby’s gone

Evening, you got me deeply in your power

Every minute seems just like an hour, now that my baby’s gone

Shadows fall upon the wall, that’s the time I miss your kiss most of all

Even though I try, how can I go on

Oh evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'

I don’t care if I don’t awaken, since my baby’s gone

Shadows fall upon the wall, that’s the time I miss your kiss most of all

Even though I try, how can I go on

Evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'

I don’t care if I don’t awaken, since my man is gone
