[Verse 1] Mail man brought a letter today Just as I ran outside to play He said take this to your mom And I said who is it from [Verse 2] He just gave me a smile and a wink And he was gone in a blink So I took it to mom and she cried I really didn't understand why [Chorus] They said daddy was coming home And that it wasn't going to be long He was away fighting a war In a land that was so very far He was coming on a big plane Many others we doing the same He had some medals and a flag And mom received his dog tags [Bridge] They said he was a hero and saved lives I didn't understand I was only five I waited for him to come home But we were now all alone [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] So there were more letter for mom And I ask her who they were from She tried to tell me, eyes full of tears Letters she had written dad over the years [Verse 4] They were worn and taddered And just made mom even sadder Love letters she had written to him And a wornout picture of them [Chorus] [Verse 5] So daddy came home today This time he would stay He had given his all for freedom And his letters someday I'll read them [Chorus] [Fade to end]
