Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine did a-calling!
Having thought I'd lost her so,
She hinted it might not be so.
Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine did the talking.
Heard her voice as if a-new,
Like a kitten's very first mew.
Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine might be willing!
Though she did not quite so say it,
Sounded like she just might mean it.
Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine could be dreaming!
A rose I left at her front door,
And now there's hope for maybe more.
------
Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine might again be calling!
Oh what a beautiful evening -
My Sunshine is again beginning!
Oh - what - a - beautiful - evening.
