Dwight Yoakam - The Curse lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam)

Don't you sleep.

Don't you have a single moment's peace

Just walk through the darkness with fears that are deep

And don't you even sleep

Don't you smile.

Don't you have happy thoughts for a while

'Til teardrops and sadness both go out of style

No, don't you even smile

Chorus:

These are the things I wish for you

Deep in my heart how I hope they come true

And then you'll know when bad turns to worse

What it's like to live under love's curse

Chorus:

These are the things I wish for you

Deep in my heart how I hope they come true

And then you'll know when bad turns to worse

What it's like to live under love's curse

Don't you try

To have a single thought that goes by

Without being haunted by memories like mine

No, don't you even try
