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 till 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

[ strings ]

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

[ strings ]

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

[ strings ]

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
