lyrics

NORA MAE
(Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music, BMI)

Oh, Nora Mae, my southern sunshine
Come away, under the cover of the night
I've been away for such a long, long time
Can you say that you are still my girl
Nora Mae?

Oh, Nora Mae, it's been a lifetime
But every day, you are the first thing on my mind
I hear your voice, lyrical Dixieland melody
Sweet as a southern breeze
Sweet as home

In my dark time, you were my light
To keep me hangin' on
To show me there's still some way
To get home
Tell me it was not in vain
Tell me you were true
Tell me you still love me
Nora Mae

Oh, Nora Mae, please no more crying
'Cause today, I'm comin' home, I've done my time
A southern girl can change a man's whole life with a smile
Tell me you're still my girl
Nora Mae

In my dark time, you were my light
To keep me hangin' on
To show me there's still some way
To get back home
Tell me it was not in vain
Tell me you were true
Tell me you still love me
Nora Mae
