Lyrics for Dream Letter
Lady time, fly away. I've been thinkin' 'Bout my yesterdays. Oh please, listen darlin' To my empty prayer: Sleep inside my dreams tonight. All I need to know tonight, How're 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? Oh does he ask about me? Ah just like a soldier boy, Ah but I fight in wars The world never knows about Oh but I never win them loud Oh there's no crowds around me When I get to thinkin' about the old days When love was here to stay I wonder if we'd ever tried. Oh what I'd give to hold you.
