ABOUT THE SONG
Words and Music by Bruce Carroll, Tom Hemby and Dave Clark
Produced by Bruce Carroll and Bruce Koblish
Appears on Big World

A true story about a man in my church whose father left him letters to live by, because he knew he was dying of cancer and would not be around to see his son grow up. Our Heavenly Father left us letters too.

LYRICS
I was only a child when daddy passed away
He knew there were some things
He'd never get to say
So he took his pen and gave his heart to me
And it's almost like every letter that he wrote
He knew what I would need

The day I turned thirteen
That I learned to drive
He found a way to share
Those special times in life
Thought I never heard his voice I know him well
And I'm finding out that I am so much wiser for
The truth his letters held

He called me song, said "I hope you find
What I've learned about living
Written between the lines
Of letters I've left behind"

He was faithful man
Who lived the words I read
His words of wisdom came
From the Bible by my bed
And the legacy that
He passed on to me
Has touched my life and molded me into the man
He prayed for me to be
