許多歌會寫出來是因為作曲人聽到別的歌裡的一句歌詞,例如鄉村歌星Hank Locklin的Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On就是一個例子。
Hank Locklin回憶當年有一首老歌叫Anything
That’s Part Of You在電台播,歌詞大意是說提供不同的事情給他人分享...,其中有一段歌詞是send me the
pillow that you dream on.I want to dream on it too,有一個在Acuff Rose Music工作的朋友告推薦給他聽,這就是後來Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On那一首歌的來源,這一首歌是Hank Locklin自己承認寫來最輕鬆的歌。
Hank
Locklin的Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On由RCA Victor唱片公司於1958年三月31日推出,在鄉村歌曲排行榜最高獲得第五名,後來還有The Browns、Johnny
Tillotson、Dean Martin等人翻唱過,其中Johnny
Tillotson的一版成績最好,獲得過熱門排行榜第17名。

Send
Me The Pillow That You Dream On
Send
me the pillow that you dream on
Don'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
Send
me the pillow that you dream on
So
darling, I can dream on it, too
Send
me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe
time will let our dreams come true
Send
me the pillow that you dream on
So
darling, I can dream on it, too
I've
waited so long for you to write me
But
just a memory's all that's left of you
Send
me the pillow that you dream on
So
darling, I can dream on it, too
So
I can dream on it, too
