Call Me Anytime


© 2006 Gene Lipps


How could a girl like you have ever known?
Not like it would have ever crossed your mind.
Everything became so complicated.
It all went down so fast.
No one would have ever guessed how long
Your innocence would last


What has happened to that man?
You're still trying to understand
Where he's gone to now.
Rest your darling mind
It's easier in time
I hear your daddy's voice still saying
"Call me anytime"


Staying with your momma while she cried
Wondering to yourself, "what happens now?"
Everything became so different lately
It's hard to read the signs.
Moving onward even though that kind of love
Was hard to find


What has happened to that man?
You're still trying to understand
Where he's gone to now.
Rest your darling mind
It's easier in time
I hear your daddy's voice still saying
"Call me anytime"


Embraced by memories from time to time
Still captured in the field of watchful eyes
Those goodbyes were never meant to last forever
Still they last so many years
There's something in those soothing prayers
To hold you through your tears.


What has happened to that man?
You're still trying to understand
Where he's gone to now.
Rest your darling mind
It's easier in time
I hear your daddy's voice still saying
"Call me anytime"
