Hank Locklin - Send Me the Pillow You Dream On lyrics

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 share your love in 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 you

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it too

So darling, I can dream on it too
