Will You Visit Me On Sundays Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

Just outside these prison bars 

The hanging tree is waitin' 

At sunrise I'll meet darkness 

And death will say hello 

Darling, touch your lips to mine 

And tell me you love me 

Promise me again before you go 

Will you visit me on Sundays? 

Will you bring me pretty flowers? 

Will your big blue eyes be misty? 

Will you brush away a tear? 

A grave is filled with silence 

If a sleeping man could hear 

Darling, would I hear 

Your footsteps up there? 

Promise me that time won't 

Separate me from your mem'ry 

That you'll remember me 

Until the days of silver hair 

If not for you, I know 

I'd lose my mind before morning 

Hold me close and 

Tell me you still care 

Will you visit me on Sundays? 

Will you bring me pretty flowers? 

Will your big blue eyes be misty? 

Will you brush away a tear? 

A grave is filled with silence 

If a sleeping man could hear 

Darling, would I hear 

Your footsteps up there?
