A Hundred and Fifty Days
A hundred and fifty days have passed
Since I've seen your smiling face
I've looked this whole world over
I can't find you any place
A hundred and fifty prayers I've prayed
That's one for every day
But I'm still waiting for an answer
Sometimes it works that way
A hundred and fifty sleepless nights
Waiting to tuck you in
I have at least a million questions
Wondering where you've been
A hundred and fifty apologies
That's what I owe to you
I don't know what I was thinking
Lord what will I do?
A hundred and fifty lonely steps
From the mailbox to our door
I didn't know a stranger was there
Or what he had in store
A hundred a fifty days have gone
Since we laid you in the ground
We buried the picture you loved the most
Your body was never found
