"Send Me the Pillow that You Dream On"

Hank Locklin sings his self-penned hit 'Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On' at the Country Family Reunion.

His first record of this song in 1949 went nowhere but later another record of this song in 1958 reached #5 on the country chart and crossed over to the pop charts reaching #77.

"Send Me the Pillow You Dream On" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Locklin. The song has become a standard for the Nashville sound, and has been covered by pop, country, and bluegrass artists.

Locklin first released the song in 78-disc 4 Star Records 1360 in September 1949, but it didn't hit the charts. Locklin re-released it in December 1957 on RCA Victor 47-7127 single, and it peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's chart of "Most Played C&W by Jockeys" and crossed over to the pop charts.

There is some ambiguity about the song's title: the original 1949 version and occasional later ones render it as "Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On", the phrase used consistently in the lyrics, but most versions use the shorter title.

Lyric:  당신의 꿈을 보내줘요

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Fon't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
So send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

[ guitar ] 

I'd waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
