Lady time, fly away.

I've been thinkin'

'Bout my yesterdays.

Oh please, listen darlin'

To my empty prayer:

Sleep inside my dreams tonight.

All I need to know tonight,

How're you and my child?

Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?

Is he mama's little man?

Does he help you when he can?

Oh does he ask about me?

Ah just like a soldier boy, Ah but I fight in wars

The world never knows about

Oh but I never win them loud

Oh there's no crowds around me

When I get to thinkin' about the old days

When love was here to stay

I wonder if we'd ever tried.

Oh what I'd give to hold you.
