Mary Skeffington, close your eyes |
|
And make believe that you are just a girl again |
|
Go to sleep tonight, dream of days |
|
When you had something there to light the way |
|
Remember a holiday in a north of England town |
|
You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown |
|
Mary Skeffington, when you wake |
|
You mustn't be afraid to face another day |
|
Think of what you have, you'll get by |
|
You've always been a lady so hold your head up high |
|
Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your life |
|
Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife |
|
Mary Skeffington, close your eyes |
|
And make believe that you are just a girl again |
|
Go to sleep tonight, dream of days |
|
When you had something there to light the way |
