Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – When The Sun Goes Down

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

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
