Whoever Finds This I Love You Lyrics - Singles - Mac Davis

On a quiet street 

In the city 

A littleold man walked along 

Shufflin' thru the autumn afternoon 

And the autumn leaves reminded him 

Another summer's come and gone 

He had a lonely night ahead 

Waitin' for June 

Then among the leaves 

Near the orphan's home 

A piece of paper caught his eye 

And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands 

As he read the childish writing 

The old man began to cry 

'Cause the words burned inside of him 

Like a brand 

Whoever finds this I love you 

Whoever finds this I need you 

I ain't even got no one to talk to 

So whoever finds this I love you 

The old man's eyes searched the orphan's home 

And came to rest upon a child 

With her nose pressed up against the window pane 

And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last 

So he waved at her and smiled 

And they both knew they'd spend the winter laughing at the rain 

And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain 

Talkin' thru the trees and exchanging little gifts 

They'd made for each other 

The old man would carve toys for the little girl 

And she would draw picture for him of beautiful ladies 

Surrounded by green trees and sunshine 

And they laughed a lot 

But then on the first day of June 

The little girl ran to the fence to show 

The old man a picture she had drawn 

But he wasn't there 

And somehow the little girl knew he wasn't coming back 

So she went back to her little room 

Took a crayon, piece of paper and wrote: 

Whoever finds this I love you 

Whoever finds this I need you 

I ain't even got no one to talk to 

So whoever finds this I love you
