Carry That Weight - Francis Lai

Once, there was a way to get back homeward

Once, there was a way to get back home

Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes

Smiles awake you when you rise

Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Once, there was a way to get back homeward

Once, there was a way to get back home

Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you’re going to carry that weight,

Carry that weight a long time

Boy, you’re going to carry that weight

Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow

I only send you my invitations

And in the middle of the celebrations

I break, I break, I break down

Boy, you’re going to carry that weight

Carry that weight a long time

Boy, you’re going to carry that weight

Carry that weight a long time

Once, there was a way to get back homeward

Once, there was a way to get back home

Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby
