Intro: D Bm D  

   D                  Bm      D 
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 D Em 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
