Lyrics:

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 'til nine
If my old car holds up I guess I'll be home for the Fourth
Don't worry 'bout 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 enclosed a 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
How do you like 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?
