I'd lose my mind before morning
Until the days of silver hair
Promise me again before you go
Darling, touch your lips to mine
Hold me close and
Tell me you still care
A grave is filled with silence
And tell me you love me
Promise me that time won't
A grave is filled with silence
Separate me from your mem'ry
Will your big blue eyes be misty?
Your footsteps up there?
Will you bring me pretty flowers?
If a sleeping man could hear
Will you brush away a tear?
Darling, would I hear
If not for you, I know
Will your big blue eyes be misty?
Darling, would I hear
At sunrise I'll meet darkness
Will you brush away a tear?
And death will say hello
Will you visit me on Sundays?
If a sleeping man could hear
Will you bring me pretty flowers?
That you'll remember me
Will you visit me on Sundays?
