In The Heights the Musical - When the Sun Goes Down Lyrics

Original song "When the Sun Goes Down" from the musical In The Heights is written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

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

NINA/BENNY: Cuz I am 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: 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 someday

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
