Broadway revival (2009)
A Little Night Music the Musical - Night Waltz 1 - The Sun Won't Set Lyrics


The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.

MRS. ANDERSSEN
The sun sits low,
Diffusing its usual glow.
Five o'clock,
Twilight...
Vespers sound,
And it's six o'clock,
Twilight
All around.

QUINTET:
But the sun sits low,
As low as it's going to go.

MR. ERLANSEN:
Eight o'clock...

MR. LINDQUIST:
Twilight...

WOMEN:
How enthralling!

MR. ERLANSEN:
It's nine o'clock...

MR. LINDQUIST:
Twilight...

WOMEN:
Slowly crawling
Towards--

MR. ERLANSEN:
Ten o'clock...

MR. LINDQUIST:
Twilight...

WOMEN:
Crickets calling...

QUINTET:
The vespers ring,
The nightingale's waiting to sing,
The rest of us wait on a string.
Perpetual sunset
Is rather an unset-
Tling thing.

The sun won't set,
It's fruitless to hope or to fret,
It's dark as it's going to get.
The hands on the clock turn,
But don't sing a nocturne
Just yet.
