Karaoké Sonny's Dream Ron Hynes

Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space

Where you can take off your shoes

Give up the race

You could lay down your head by a sweet river bed

But Sonny always remembers what it was his mama said

Oh Sonny don't go away

I am here all alone

And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home

All these nights get so long and the silence goes on

And I'm feelin' so tired, I'm not all that strong

Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man

There ain't all that to do still he does what he can

And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs

And the waves keep on rollin'

They've done that for years and for years

Oh Sonny don't go away

I am here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home

All these nights get so long

The silence goes on

And I'm feelin' so tired

I'm not all that strong

Sonny's dreams can't be real

They're just stories he's read

They're just stars in his eyes

They're just dreams in his head

And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside

And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried and I've tried

Oh Sonny don't go away

I am here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home

All these nights get so long

The silence goes on

And I'm feelin' so tired, I'm not all that strong

Oh Sonny don't go away

I am here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home

All these nights get so long

The silence goes on

And I'm feelin' so tired, I'm not all that strong
