Dear Dad

Yo, and this is legend, oh, I

Yo, and this is the legend, whoa

Yeah, you know this is the legend

Yeah, goes like this now

Dear, God, I have a letter here from me to dad

And I want to let you know it might be a little sad

Dear, God, I have a letter here from me to dad

And I want to let you know it goes

Dear, dad, I really didn't get to know you

And sometimes I sit and wonder and it makes me blue

But there's one memory that stays on the back of my mind

And this memory got me thinkin' 'bout you all the time

Whoa, I swear we miss you so

And I wish that you was here to see your boys grow

In case you're wondering, mommy she's doin' fine

And she tell me stories 'bout you, papa, all the time

So when I'm down and out, lonely or just feelin' blue

All I do, dear, dad, is think of you

The thoughts alone erase my fears and dries my tears

I'm just writing to let you know someone cares

Yeah, I love you, really, really love you, daddy

I miss you, I miss you, and I know my brothers and sisters do too

And I love you, really, really love you

Oh, Lord, that's so true too

And I know you gave your love to the people

And some of whom you thought you could trust, they deceived you

"But betrayal brings another day," at least that's what mama say

And then, when I'm through I'll place this letter in the Bible

And I'm gon' pray to Jah to send his disciples

To deliver you this letter, Lord

It will make me feel much better, now I sing

Dear, God, I have a letter here from me to dad

And I want to let you know it might be a little sad

Dear, God, letter here from me to dad

And I want to let you know, P.S.

So much things I'd like to know, and so much things to say

But I'm gon' save it 'cause I know that we'll be together someday

I'm just writing to let you know someone cares

And to let you know that your left the whole world in tears

Whoa

Yeah, I swear

Whoa, whoa, uh

Now, daddy, I love you, I love you, really, really love you, daddy

I miss you, I miss you, and I know my brothers and sister do too

Yeah, I love you, really, really love you

Oh, here we go, ay

Dear, dad, I really didn't get to know you

And sometime I sit and wonder and it makes me blue

But there's one memory that stays on the back of my mind

And this memory got me thinkin' 'bout you all the time

Whoa, yeah, I swear we miss you so

And I wish that you was here to see your boys grow

In case you're wondering, mommy she's doin' fine

And she tell me stories 'bout you, papa, all the time

So when I'm down and out, lonely or I'm feelin' blue

All I do, dear, dad, is think of you

The thoughts alone erase my fears and dries my tears

I'm just writing to let you know someone cares

Yeah, I love you, really, really love you, daddy

I miss you, I miss you, and I know my brothers and sister do too

Yeah, I love you, really, really love you, daddy

I miss you, I miss you, and I know my brothers and sisters do too
