My daddy used to sing 'bout a preacher man
G D
Who lost his wife, she was his whole life
Bm D
He kissed me then he took me in with his old gui- tar
G D
Man, that second verse, I hung on every word
A Em G A
I drift off and get lost in between the melody and a dream
D Em G
And he'd sing, please come back to me
D A
We're gonna build this spring and start a family
D Em G D A
Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way
Em Bm G A D
Lives on in my fondest memo- ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep
D
Well, I grew up like a weed through my teenage years
G D
Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely even say goodnight
I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and school
G D
But I was just way to cool to say I love you
Pre-Chorus
A Em G
But he didn't know that when I close my eyes and turn out the lights
D Em G
That I'd hear, please come back to me
D A
We're gonna build this spring and start a family
D Em G D A
Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way
Em Bm G A DEm F#m
Lives on in my fondest memo- ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep
G
And after all those nights and all these years
D Em F#m
Here we are and here he is taken his last breath
G
And I'm man enough to cry, he's to young to say goodbye
D A
He's all but left, and man, I'm scared to death
D Em G D A
Please come back to me, right now I need you more than anythin'
D Em F#m G D A
Please just one more day, so much to say, wish you could stay
Em Bm
And he squeezed my hand and kissed me on the cheek
G A D
And said you sing and I'll sleep
