Thread Name: Lyr Req: The French Song (Quand le soleil dit...)
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE SUN SAYS GOODBYE TO THE MOUNTAIN
Since the English lyrics seem to have gone away and the original request was for them too, here's how I found it:

From a handwritten scrap of paper not dated, but found about 1970 in Melbourne. I suspect it is not complete.

WHEN THE SUN SAYS GOODBYE TO THE MOUNTAINS

When the sun says goodbye to the mountains
And the gold of the day meets the blue
In my dreams I'm alone on the mountains*
With a heart that is longing for you

The birds in the trees, the song of the breeze
Bring memories of love we once knew
When the sun says goodbye to the mountains
My darling I'm thinking of you.

* written as mounties, but I doubt that's what's intended. Joy
