Tie That Binds Lyrics - Jim Reeves

In a room so lonely and cheerless 

Sits a woman, all alone 

By her, a cradle stands empty 

And o'er it she sobs and she moans: 

"My husband, he no longer loves me 

His love and our dear baby died 

I'll leave him at home forever 

And out in this old world abide" 

She packed baby's things in a bundle 

While the tears rolled down her cheeks 

"I never, no never, would leave him 

If ever a kind word he'd speak."

Just then the door softly was opened 

A man took the bundle away 

He laid the things out on the table 

And softly to her he did say: 

"One little stocking for you, dear 

One little blue shoe is for me 

The baby's wrap and its smallest cap 

We'll keep in memory

She is the tie that binds"
