Beyond the Sunset (飛越黃昏) is a 1989 film by Hong Kong director Jacob Cheung.
It won Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress at the 9th Hong Kong Film Awards.
"Beyond the Sunset" is a song written by Blanche Kerr Brock, Virgil P. Brock, and Albert Kennedy Rowswell. It was released as a single by Hank Williams under the pseudonym Luke the Drifter in 1950.
The recitation in "Beyond the Sunset" was originally a poem called "Should You Go First" by Albert "Rosey" Rowswell, the voice of the Pittsburgh Pirates for more than twenty years, and later first put to the 1936 hymn "Beyond the Sunset" by West Virginian performer Chickie Davis.Elton Britt released a version before Williams in February 1950. Country music historian Colin Escott calls the song "pure Victoriana caught out of time." Williams recorded the song in Nashville at Castle Studio at the first Luke the Drifter session on January 9, 1950 with Fred Rose producing. He was backed on the session by Don Helms (steel guitar), Hillous Butrum (bass), and probably Owen Bradley or Rose (organ). It was released as a single in 1950 as the B-side to "The Funeral" and also appeared on the 1953 posthumous LP Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter.
Sunset is the time when the Sun disappears below the horizon in the west.

"The Sunset" is a song from The Moody Blues 1967 album Days of Future Passed. It is the second of three songs on the album representing the evening, along with "(Evening) Time to Get Away" (which is actually on "The Afternoon" track), and "Twilight Time." Written by keyboardist Mike Pinder, "The Sunset" is a very low-key song describing the scene in the sky as the sun sets. At the end of the song, an orchestral transition is used to segue the song into "Twilight Time." This orchestral transition also includes a brief orchestral excerpt from "Forever Afternoon" (which is better known as "Tuesday Afternoon"). "The Sunset" is one of two songs written by Mike Pinder for Days of Future Passed, with the other being "Dawn is a Feeling."
The original LP featured piano underneath the mellotron part of the song. In 1978, the entire album was remixed due to deterioration of the original master tapes, and the piano backing was removed.
"The Sunset" should not be confused with the Moody Blues later song "English Sunset", which was released in 1999 on Strange Times.
Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I'll live in memory's garden dear with happy days we've known
In spring I'll wait for roses red, when fades the lilacs bloom
And in early fall when brown leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Beyond the sunset, oh blissful morning
When with our savior, heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended, oh glory dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done
Should you go first and I remain, to finish with the scroll
No lessening shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
We've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name
Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I'll follow you
In that fair homeland, we'll know no parting
