I Think I Can Sleep Tonight

歌詞

I've just received a letter that was written by my son And I as I read it, dear God I can tell the damage that's been done He started off, "Dear Daddy. How is everything today? I hope you're doing fine and things with you are still ok I've just finished up my homework and mom said I ought to write It's funny, dad, but I guess we both had you in mind tonight. Gee, I sure miss you and the times that we've had But livin' here with mom, I guess it really isn't bad But she's a girl dad and I can't play those games she used to play She made me take my bullfrogs back and throw my gum away But dad, I love her, and you know I love you too Why can't we live together just the way we used to do? Mommy said this summer I could come and stay with you Why don't you call her up, dad, and talk her into comin' too? I think she'd come to stay if you'd just hint a little bit And if she knew I was writin' this, boy, would she have a fit I mentioned you the other night in my prayers, and, oh my She got all choked up and turned away, and was just about to cry So I got up and took her hand, and my eyes was in a blur She said 'Some day you'll understand, son', and that's just about all I got from her Oh, there's guys that come to see her, but she won't invite them in I asked her why, and she just said that she's not interested in men She keeps your same old picture on the table by the bed I think she really misses you dad, if it's not just all in my head I know I'm awfully little to know all the troubles, there's no doubt And I hope I never really know, what it's all about But dad, if you two could just get together, everything would be alright And daddy, if prayers are really answered, I think I can sleep tonight"
