[04:48.00]My daddy used to sing about a preacher man
[04:48.00]Who lost his wife, she was his whole life
[04:48.00]He kissed me then he took me in with his old guitar
[04:48.00]Man that second verse, I hung on every word
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]I'd drift off and get lost in between
[04:48.00]A melody and a dream and he'd sing
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]Please come back to me, we're gonna build this spring and start a family
[04:48.00]Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way
[04:48.00]Lives on in my fondest memories, he'd sing and I'd sleep
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]Well, I grew up like a ** through my teenage years
[04:48.00]Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely even say goodnight
[04:48.00]I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and school
[04:48.00]But I was just way too cool to say I love you
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]But he didn't know that when I close my eyes
[04:48.00]And turned out the lights that I'd hear
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]Please come back to me, we're gonna build this spring and start a family
[04:48.00]Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way
[04:48.00]Lives on in my fondest memories, he'd sing and I'd sleep
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]After all those nights and all these years
[04:48.00]Here we are and here he is taking his last breath
[04:48.00]And I'm man enough to cry and he's way too young to say goodbye
[04:48.00]And he's all but lived and man I'm scared to death
[04:48.00]
[04:48.00]Please come back to me, right now I need you more than anything
[04:48.00]Please just one more day, so much to say, wish you could stay
[04:48.00]And he squeezed my hand and kissed me on the cheek
[04:48.00]And said you sing and I'll sleep
