Brenda Lee Miscellaneous Big Four-Poster Bed (1974) It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton A place to lay your body down was that big four-poster bed Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding They say the neighbors cheered and hollered till his face got red And mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding And they spent their wedding night in that big four-poster bed That night they swore that like the bed their love would last forever And theyd ask no more of life than the simple things they had So they planned the future as they lay there close together And later I was born there in that big four-poster bed It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed I remember as a child waking up on winter mornings To the sound of laughing voices and the smell of bacon grease And running cross that cold wood floor and jumping in there with them And lord I felt so safe and warm in that big four-poster bed The day that daddy died it was but something soft to mama To this day shes never told a soul the words he said She just smiled through the tears held his hands and nodded And my daddy looked so much at rest in that big four-poster bed It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed Now time has dried up all the tears here I stand a woman Your arms reach out to touch my soul your sweet words turn my head Darling wont you tell me first this will be forever Before you lead me up the stairs to that big four-poster bed Cause only love has ever touched that big four-poster bed Yes it was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed |
