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 youll be here, drawing me near to you againThese 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, youll always be mineI 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 youll be here in peaceful dreams with me againThese 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, youll always be mine
Here in my heart, youll always be mine
