Poem
I was sorting through some old photographs 
somewhat faded, tattered-torn 
from years of wear and tear I guess; 
some baby pictures from when I was born.  
My mother holding me so close 
and warm in her sweet hands 
while my daddy stood right beside her 
a proud and gentle man.  
Though it was black and white with so little light 
to brighten up the room 
there was no doubt the truth was out 
we were a family in full bloom.  

                       Refrain: 
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you were the man who gave me life.  
Why did you up and fly away into the stars one night?  
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you know I miss you every day?  
Let me thank you for all the love and more 
of everything you gave. 


Another photograph I gently grasped a priceless memory 
of later years when it was clear 
you were the hero of our family.  
Six kids and you and mom there too 
all smiles into the lens, you’d set up on a camera stand 
and self timed us once again.  Capturing a moment 
that you knew would carry on 
a piece of film that found its way somehow into this song.  


                       Refrain:
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you were the man who gave me life.  
Why did you up and fly away into the stars one night?  
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you know I miss you every day?  
Let me thank you for all the love and more 
of everything you gave. 


There’ve been so many times I wished I could find you 
back in our home town; 
maybe in the old back yard where I used to run around.  
While you grilled hot dogs and we heard the call 
of the evening whippoorwill, 
those memories are so real to me 
I feel you standing right here still.  
Looking down upon me like you once did long ago, 
dad if you can hear me now 
you were the finest man I know. 

                            Refrain:     
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you were the man who gave me life.  
Why did you up and fly away up to the stars one night?  
Where have you gone now Robert Walker, 
you know I miss you every day?  
Let me thank you for all the love and more 
of everything you gave.
