Mary Skeffington lyrics

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes

And make believe that you are just a girl again

Go to sleep tonight, dream of days

When you had something there to light the way

Remember a holiday in a north of England town

You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown

Mary Skeffington, when you wake

You mustn't be afraid to face another day

Think of what you have, you'll get by

You've always been a lady, so hold your head up high

Look back at a home

Where you spent the best years of your life

Remember the man who asked you

If you would be his wife

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes

And make believe that you are just a girl again

Go to sleep tonight, dream of days

When you had something there to light the way
