|
Sunlight is gone, a wind stirs the willow |
|
Whippoorwills call from high on the hill |
|
Deep shadows fall as I wait for you by the window |
|
Soon you'll be here, drawing me near to you again |
|
These Tennessee nights roll on like a river |
|
So gentle and slow with you by my side |
|
These Tennessee nights will go on forever |
|
'Cause here in my heart you'll always be mine |
|
I hear the wind whisper low through the hollow |
|
Calling my name the way you did then |
|
I close my eyes and I lay my head on the pillow |
|
Soon you'll be here in peaceful dreams with me again |
|
These Tennessee nights roll on like a river |
|
So gentle and slow with you by my side |
|
These Tennessee nights will go on forever |
|
'Cause here in my heart you'll always be mine |
|
Here in my heart you'll always be mine |
