The Curse

(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
