Lyrics

It won't be long and I'll be gone, did I really ever stand where his name will be remembered in the courts throughout the land?
It's taken so long to make the trip, do I have to leave so soon?
Though the future's bright, I'm down tonight, in the light of a Nashville moon

Have you ever been in a waking dream between the nighttime and the dawn?
Or heard the lonesome whistle of a train you'll never ride upon?
Or seen a sweet magnolia tree lose it's blossoms all too soon
As shafts of light cut through it's leaves in the night 'neath a Nashville moon

The ghosts of the past stand beside me in the music that I hear
I've stored it up inside my heart for more than a hundred years
From the Opry down to the Ryman, and back to the Wildhorse Saloon
I can see Earnest Tubb smiling down at me in the night 'neath a Nashville moon

It only lasts for a nighttime, and the day comes way too soon
But I'll take with me sweet memories of you...
and a Nashville moon
and a Nashville moon
and a Nashville moon
and a Nashville moon
