Lyrics Derek Ryan – Write Me A Letter
Text:
I’m leaving town daddy, I’m leaving town today
‘Cause it don’t matter what I try, I just can’t find my way
I’ll be so sad leaving, I’ve got a hunger deep inside
My dreams, my ambitions and my pride
My daddy said write me a letter, won’t you write me a letter son
And tell me all about the weather, won’t you write me a letter son
And every day I’ll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better, won’t you write me a letter
Dear daddy I’m in Sydney, such a lovely town I know
But it’s no hills of Donegal or the rolling Mountains Of Mourne
The harbour wind it takes me back to the shores of Galway Bay
And daddy when I’m blue I think of you and that day…
The day you said write me a letter, O won’t you write me a letter son
And tell me all about the weather, O’ won’t you write me a letter son
And every day I’ll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better, O’ won’t you write me a letter
Dear daddy I’m in the U.S.A., I’m hear in Tennessee
And the river sure is pretty but it’s not our Lovely Lee
I’m singing good old country and the people sing along
I drive a fancy car, they say I’m a star but your words keep me strong
O’ you said write me a letter, O won’t you write me a letter son
And tell me all about the weather, O’ won’t you write me a letter son
And every day I’ll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better, O’ won’t you write me a letter
O’ won’t you write me a letter
