YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE BEFORE
WAS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNEW?
WHEN YOU CLOSED THAT OL’ SCREEN DOOR
IT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU

I PACED THE FLOOR SO LOST INSIDE
I COULD SEE THE SKY TURN GREY
AND IN THE SILENCE LATE THAT NIGHT
THE LORD TOOK YOU AWAY

Chorus
DADDY I WROTE YOU A LETTER
AND LAID IT ON YOUR HEART
THE INK AND TEARS THAT STAIN THE PAGE
MAY GIVE YOU COMFORT IN THE DARK
WISH I KNEW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME
SIX FEET UNDER THIS COLD GROUND
BUT AS THE RAIN COMES TUMBLIN’ DOWN
I CAN FEEL YOU STILL AROUND

WE CAN’T GO BACK TO YESTERDAY
TO LIVE THOSE CHAPTERS ONE MORE TIME
’CAUSE EVERY MOMENT FADES AWAY
BUT MAYBE LOVE SURVIVES

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
WRITING THESE WORDS WASN’T EASY
WITH A TREMBLIN’ HAND
TRYIN’ TO SAY WHAT CAN NEVER BE SAID
TO THE ONE WHO MADE ME WHAT I AM
