SING ME TO SLEEP

SING ME TO SLEEP


Long ago when I was small
We'd listen to country tunes
By Hank Snow and Williams
Now it's been many moons.......
Life has been like those songs
Full of sad miseries
Sometimes it feels like
I'm tossed upon the seas.

Hank said he saw the light
And Snow was movin' on
Patsy sang about sweet dreams
And Tanya's Delta Dawn.........
I sing those songs aloud
When I go up to bed
I guess I'll be singing
Until I'm almost dead.

I sing about 'Yard Sale'
About love gone wrong
And I can sure relate to
'Four Walls' by Faron Young.......
I cry sometimes recalling
Love that used to be
I make believe your arms
Are still surrounding me.

But you and I have been apart
So many moons it seems
That I cannot remember
You, except in dreams........
When you died, you took
Part of me with you
And country music cannot
Stop these lonesome blues.

'Still' I sing Bill Anderson
And Loretta's country songs
Tammy and George's music
Makes me sing along...........
The older ones get to me
Each and every time
I taste your sweet kisses
In every sip of wine.

Sing me to sleep........
