[Verse]
Got a letter from my kid today
They let me read a line or two
"I lost my teddy bear
I can't remember where
Daddy, is he there with you?"

[Verse]
In the letter he goes on to say
"I'm so excited, Daddy dear
I found a little pup
I washed and brushed him up
Tell me can I keep him here?"

[Chorus]
"Daddy, here's my puppy's picture
Don't you think he looks like me?
We could be so happy
Only without you, it's lonely"

[Verse]
That's the letter from my kid today
Gee, it makes me kinda blue
I know exactly how
The kid is feeling now
'Cause I get mighty lonely too
[Chorus]
"Daddy, here's my puppy's picture
Don't you think he looks like me?
We could be so happy
Only without you, it's lonely"

[Verse]
That's the letter from my kid today
Gee, it makes me kinda blue
I know exactly how
The kid is feeling now
'Cause I get mighty lonely too
