Weep Not for Me

My darling why are you crying? Your face looks so pale and drawn Try not to think of your troubles They'll fade away with the dawn "My heart is so heavy tonight, love" She said without raising her head "I don't know what has come o'er me But I need to take to my bed." Sleep easy tonight my love I'll return with the morning light You know I will never forsake you So weep not for me tonight The whippoorwill cried at my window And the wind made a low mournful sound I went to go for the doctor But it was a long way to town The doctor and I traveled quickly Through that long night with no rest But he said she'd long since departed When he laid his hand to her breast Sleep easy tonight my love I'll return with the morning light You know I will never forsake you So weep not for me tonight Oh, weep not for me tonight
