Email Song

Country/folk music

I want to send my dad an email,
Want to tell him that I’m fine…
I want to send my dad an email,
Oh why aren’t the angels on line?
Everybody’s got a computer,
Everybody’s on the net…
So why isn’t heaven online yet?

I want to tell him all about the kids,
How I’m takin’ care of mom,
I even know his address-
It’s [e-mail].

I want to send my dad an email,
Want to tell him that I’m fine…
I want to send my dad an email,
Oh why aren’t the angels on line?

I want to tell him he’s a great grand dad,
His granddaughter had a son,
And his slugger’s playing ball for real
And last night, his team won.
I want to ask him where he left the darts,
That last night we played a game,
Oh, I‘d really like to play again
Even tho’ it won’t be quite the same.

Everybody’s got a computer,
Everybody’s on the net…
So why isn’t heaven online yet?


I want to tell him ‘bout Mom’s surgery,
How she’s gone back to work again
And how she talks about him everyday—
Oh dad, remember when?
Remember when I was little
Mayhap four or five
And you put me on your shoulders
And I’d reach up to touch the sky-
Oh I know you’re out there somewhere,
I keep looking for your star,
So twinkle brightly for me, dad
So I’ll know where, in Heaven, you are.

I want to send my dad an email,
Want to tell him that I’m fine…
I want to send my dad an email,
Oh why aren’t the angels on line?
Everybody’s got a computer,
Everybody’s on the net…
So why isn’t heaven online yet?

(slower)

I want to send my dad an email
I want to say I love him still…
I want to send my dad an email…
Perhaps, someday, I will.
