Jim Reeves - The Tie That Binds lyrics

In a room so lonely and cheerless Sits a woman all alone By her a cradle stands empty And by it, she sobs and she moans. My husband, he no longer loves me His love and our dear baby died I'll leave him at home, forever Without him this old world, abide. She packed baby's things in the bundle While the tears rolled down her cheeks I never, no never, would leave him If ever a kind word he'd speak. Just then the door softly was opened A man took the bundle away He lay the things out on the table And softly to her he did say. One little stockin' for you dear One little blue shoe is for me The baby's wrap and its smallest cap We'll keep in memory. One lock of hair is for you dear See how the golden curl shines We'll keep a smile, while she sleeps for She is the tie that binds...
