Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]

(Harry Clarkson - Jeff Clarkson - Peter VanSteeden)



When shadows fall and leaves whisper the day is ending

My thoughts are ever wandering home

When crickets call my heart is forever yearning

Once more to be returning.



When the hills can see the settin' sun

Stars begin to spark one by one

Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me

Sweet dream will ever take me home.



Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me

Sweet dream will ever take me home...
