Hey Mister Lyrics

Hey Mister lyrics

He sat down next to the window

By the TV at my bar

He ordered Coke and
whiskey

And put something in my jar

And old black and white
photograph

He hung onto all his life

And his story broke my
heart

He said, "She was gonna be my wife"



He said, "Hey mister,
please take this picture

'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore

Though
the corners are tattered and torn

She's still the one that I
adore

Mister, please take this

'Cause I don't wanna miss her
anymore"



He told me how they met

How at first sight they fell in
love

He didn't have to say what happened

The picture told me what it
was

Her words in blue there on the back

Had all but been erased

By
years of tears and promises

Love lost  but not replaced



He said,
"Hey mister, please take this picture

'Cause I don't wanna miss her
anymore

Though the corners are tattered and torn

She's still the one
that I adore

Mister, please take this

'Cause I don't wanna miss her
anymore"



I put his picture in a drawer

With all the other ones
like her

I get a different one every now and then

And I hear the same
old words



Hey mister, please take this picture

'Cause I don't
wanna miss her anymore
