Lyrics Connie Smith

Connie Smith

Ribbon Of Darkness

Ribbon of darkness over me since my true love walked out the door

Tears I never had before, ribbon of darkness over me

Clouds're gathering o'er my head they chill the day and hide the sun

And shroud the night when day is done, ribbon of darkness over me

Rain is fallin' on the meadow where once my love and I did lie

Now he is gone from the meadow my love goodbye

Ribbon of darkness over me where once the world was young as spring

Where clouds're bloomin' birds were would sing, ribbon of darkness over me

In this cold room lying don't wanna see no one but you

Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you

How I wish your heart could see, my mind just takes the breaks of day

Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me

La da da da dee de dee, la da da da dee de dee

Hmm, hmm, hmm, ribbon of darkness over me
