Intro: verse 1 You might think there's some big reason Why I took this time to write The cards and letters there been too few of those I just stopped to realize, how long did I been home and There's a few small things I need to know Dear Daddy, do the Whippoorwill still echo through the night? Does the sound of silence squeeze the morning light? And have you caught the big one in the pond just down the road I miss you so Riff verse 2 Well, the years keeps slipping by me Like the miles out on the road But I don't guess I'll change my way of life There's no harm in holdin' memories So please tell me if you can I need to bring them old times inside Dear Momma, can you still find the dipper in stars? do the roads still go for hours without cars? And does the frost still shine, cold morning On the grass outside the door Just like before, tell me more verse 3 And I'll be back to see you sometime soon Can you still reach out and almost touch the moon? And do the old songs still ring out Through the hills for days and days Love always
