Derek Ryan Write Me a Letter song lyrics

I'm leaving town today

'Cos it don't matter what I try

I just can't find my way

I'll be so sad leaving but I've got a hunger deep inside

My dreams my ambition and my pride my daddy said

Write me a letter won't you write me a letter son tell me all about the weather

But won't you write me a letter son

And everyday

I'll pray for you

And hope that all your dreams come true

And the life will treat you better

But 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 those rollin' mountains of mourne

The harbor wind that takes me back to the shores of Galway bay

Daddy when I'm blue

I think of you and that day the day you said

Write me a letter won't you write me a letter son tell me all about the weather

But won't you write me a letter son

And everyday

I'll pray for you

And hope that all your dreams come true

And the life will treat you better

But won't you write me a letter

Dear daddy I'm in the USA yeah I'm here in Tennessee

And the river sure is pretty yes but it's not our lovely Lee

But I'm singing good old country and the people sing along

I drive a fancy car say I'm a star

But your words keep me strong oh you said

Write me a letter won't you write me a letter son tell me all about the weather

But won't you write me a letter son

And everyday

I'll pray for you

And hope that all your dreams come true

And the life will treat you better

But won't you write me a letter won't you write me a letter
