Mary Skeffington

(rafferty)Mary skeffington, close your eyesAnd make believe that you are just a girl againGo to sleep tonight, dream of daysWhen you had something there to light the wayRemember a holiday in a north of england townYou slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdownMary skeffington, when you wakeYou mustn’t be afraid to face another dayThink of what you had, you’ll get byYou’ve always been a lady, hold your head up highLook back on your home where you spent the best years of your lifeRemember the man who asked you if you would be his wife
