"Tell Me A Story" lyrics

"Tell Me A Story"

Tell me a story I don't know
Not like the one you've heard from lovers
Ends with, "Baby, don't you go"
Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart, but do it slow
Tell me a story I don't know

Play me a tune that never leaves
Like the one your mother taught you
One with beauty and with ease
Play me a tune that'll set my heart alight in Tennessee
Play me a tune that never leaves

Sing me a song, o' darlin' please
Something no one's ever heard of that'll bring me to my knees
Sing me a song the way that Dolly sings that "Early Mornin' Breeze"
Sing me a song, o' darlin' please

Write me a letter that you mean
One where the words jump off the page
The kind that's few and far between
Write me a letter that'll make me wanna be the best I've been
Write me a letter that you mean

Tell me a story I don't know
Not like the one you've heard from lovers
Ends with, "Baby, don't you go"
Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart, but do it slow
Tell me a story I don't know
