When the Sun Goes Down Lyrics by Mandy Gonzalez, Christopher Jackson

In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2008

[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
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 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
