Dad's Old Number Lyrics
[Verse 1] G I found a napkin with scribbled notes D In an old box of cassette tapes that you left behind Em The melody's faded but your voice is clear C I could almost see you sitting on that old back porch G It's like you're here [Chorus] C G D I dialed Dad's old number just to hear the message Em C G I'd forgotten the way that it sounded so much like you C G D I miss the way you'd pause just in the right places Em C G You had a thing about always calling us back when we called you [Verse 2] G I found some pictures of my old softball team D And I remembered how you never missed a game Em You'd be standing behind the chain-link fence C Cheering on your little girl, making sure I knew that you were proud G Those were the days [Chorus] C G D I dialed Dad's old number just to hear the message Em C G I'd forgotten the way that it sounded so much like you C G D I miss the way you'd pause just in the right places Em C G You had a thing about always calling us back when we called you [Bridge] Em G Now your number sits disconnected on that old phone D But I can't seem to let it go, oh no Em G Maybe one day someone else will call and hear your voice C D And they'll know what it felt like when you loved me, when you loved me [Chorus] C G D I dialed Dad's old number just to hear the message Em C G I'd forgotten the way that it sounded so much like you C G D I miss the way you'd pause just in the right places Em C G You had a thing about always calling us back when we called you [Outro] G I found a napkin with scribbled notes D In an old box of cassette tapes that you left behind Em The melody's faded but your voice is clear C I could almost see you sitting on that old back porch G It's like you're here
