Somebodies gone, a wind stirs the willows
Whipoorwills 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 the 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
Whipoorwills 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 the 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
