Chad Brock - Hey Mister lyrics

rate me

He sat down next to the window

By the TV at my bar

He ordered Coke and whiskey

And put something in my jar

And old black and white photograph

He hung onto all his life

And his story broke my heart

He said, "She was gonna be my wife"

He said, "Hey mister, please take this picture

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore

Though the corners are tattered and torn

She's still the one that I adore

Mister, please take this

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore"

He told me how they met

How at first sight they fell in love

He didn't have to say what happened

The picture told me what it was

Her words in blue there on the back

Had all but been erased

By years of tears and promises

Love lost but not replaced

He said, "Hey mister, please take this picture

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore

Though the corners are tattered and torn

She's still the one that I adore

Mister, please take this

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore"

I put his picture in a drawer

With all the other ones like her

I get a different one every now and then

And I hear the same old words

Hey mister, please take this picture

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore
