Dream Letter [Takes 17-16, Intercut] Lyrics
Lady time fly away
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight are you and my child
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Or does he ask about me?
Just like a soldier boy
I been out fighting wars
That the world never knows about
But I never win them loud
There's no crowds around me
But when I get to thinkin'
'Bout the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh, what I'd give to hold him.
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight are you and my child
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Or does he ask about me?
I been out fighting wars
That the world never knows about
But I never win them loud
There's no crowds around me
'Bout the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh, what I'd give to hold him.
