Nail and stone it was my life And dreams were always grown. I'd build lovers into wives And dreams into fine homes. As simple as it seemed to me, You would not see me smiling, And I would cry to watch you try To live your life to die. So hush a bye Don't you cry Go to sleep my love; Dry your eyes And dream of You're the one I love. I did pray to be like you To be part of your life, But you were lost to richer lands Your friends to foot the price. And somewhere I just saw clearly What you were thinking of The diff'rence 'tween us must have been That someone gave me love. (Repeat chorus)
