Send Me the Pillow You Dream On

Dean Martin · Icon [2012]

(Hank Locklin)



(So darling, I can dream on it too.)



Send me the pillow that you dream on

Don't you know that I still care for you

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it too.



Each night while I'm sleeping, oh, so lonely

I'll share your loving dreams that once were true

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it too.



(I've waited so long for you to write me)

But just a memory's all that's left of me

So send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it too.



So darling, I can dream on it too...
