Soft melodies from the bar room Sounds so nice to hear Perhaps they are extra inviting To a country boy like me….. Persuasion waits at every turn It just won’t let me be Honey when you retire to bed tonight Spare a thought for me. I miss your gentle hold and kiss Of love and romance These thoughts of love now so cruel and wanting So honey when you retire for sleep tonight And search for the lost dreams Spare a special thought for me. As the night grows old and lonely And I am here far away from you and home Wishing for someone to kiss and hold Know that distance and loneliness is what makes a young lad go wrong Evil searches through the night for uncertain guys like me So darling when you retire for sleep tonight Spare a moment for me I miss your tender hold and kiss Of love and assurance These thoughts of love so cruel and wanting Darling when you retire for sleep tonight Searching for the sweet dreams and memories Spare a thought for me.
