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 you?ll be here, drawing me near to you 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      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
