Hi Wayne, These are the wordss I sing, they may be of help to you.

SONNY'S DREAM

Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor, he never comes home
Nights are so long, the silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

Sonny lives on a farm in a far distant place
Take off your shoes stay out of the race
Lay down your head by a soft river bed
Sonny always remembers the words his mama said

Sonny lives all alone though he's barely a man
There's not much to do but he does what he can
Sits by his window in his room on the stairs
Watching the waves drifting soft on the fields

Many years have rolled by Sonny's old and alone
His daddy was a sailor he never came home
Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been
Still from the grave mama's voice haunts his dreams

Cheers Bill
