Take Me Back
Bill Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a beautiful cloud you see
So you will know that I want you
In my beautiful memories and dreams
Come back to me in my dreams love
Come back to me in sweet dreams
I'm heartbroke I'm sad and I'm weary
When the bright moon shines up in Heaven
And the beautiful stars are a'gleam
It seems that you are so near me
But yet it is only a dream
It seems I'll never more see you
Till we meet in Heaven it seems
But I hold you close to my heart love
In my beautiful memories and dreams

Oh, I'm sending a prayer up to Heaven
I am praying to God in Heaven
On a beautiful cloud you see
I picture my prayers going up on a beautiful cloud
So you will know that I want you
I want you to know that I miss you
In my beautiful memories and dreams
I remember and dream of the happy moments with you
Come back to me in my dreams love
I long to see you in my dreams again
Come back to me in sweet dreams
Please come back and visit me in my sweet dreams
I'm heartbroke I'm sad and I'm weary
I am heartbroken, sad and tired without you
Come back to me in my dreams
Please come back to me in my dreams and lift my spirits
When the bright moon shines up in Heaven
When the moon is bright and shining in the sky
And the beautiful stars are a'gleam
And the stars are twinkling brightly
It seems that you are so near me
I feel like you are close to me
But yet it is only a dream
But of course, it is only a dream
It seems I'll never more see you
It feels like I will never see you again
Till we meet in Heaven it seems
Until we can meet again in Heaven
But I hold you close to my heart love
But I keep you close to my heart in memory
In my beautiful memories and dreams
In my memories and dreams, you are still with me
