Newton-John, Olivia - Mary Skeffington Lyrics






Mary Skeffington, close your eyes
And make believe that you are just a girl again
Go to sleep tonight, dream of days
When you had something there to light the way

Remember a holiday in a north of England town
You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown

Mary Skeffington, when you wake
You mustn't be afraid to face another day
Think of what you had, you'll get by
You've always been a lady, hold your head up high

Look back on your home where you spent the best years of your life
Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife

    Don't forget the great Gerry Rafferty who wrote this song for his mother. You may know this, but if you don't, check out the original. Newton John does the track great justice.

    Love this whole album! Brings back memories of listening to the whole record until I wore the thing out. This was my escape from my reality of my parents always arguing.... I wanted to me a great singer like her, with a soothing, calming voice. Thank you ONJ for helping me get through these obstacles in life! I was bugging my parents for this record, they said they gave it to my aunt and don't know where it was. Thank you for sharing this with us!
