Dear mom and dad I'm writing you
To say I found a job
It's a good job
I don't go to work till nine
If my old car holds up I guess
I'll be home for the Fourth
Don't worry about me everything is fine
That was 1952
Where have all the seasons gone?
Dear dad remember Peggy?
We were married Friday night
I'll bring her home
To see you when I can
We took some pictures at the wedding
I'll enclose the few
And the money that you wanted me to send
That was 1953
Where have all the seasons gone?
Dear Uncle Ray I thank you
For the Christmas card you sent
The kids enjoyed the pretty toys you bought
Congratulations, awful sad
That you retired last week
And that you are living
In a trailer park
That was 1963
Where have all the seasons gone?
Yesterday I got a letter
From that oldest boy of mine
He said that he was doing fine in school
He said if his old car holds up
He'll be home for the Fourth
He said don't you worry
Papa things are cool
That was yesterday, now tell me
Where have all the seasons gone?
