Tennessee Nights

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
