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
|
