Mary Skeffington

(rafferty)



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 had, you'll get by

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



Look back on your home where you spent the best years of your life

Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife
