This is a song adapted from a father's letter to his son in Iraq.

Heartfelt request from a father to hear from his son on extended duty.

verse 1
I know you’re busy
and have been for some time
and you can’t drop what you’re doing
even if you tried
not a day goes by
I don’t hide another tear
just wanted you to know that
we’re still missing you here

chorus
So send me a picture
or drop me a line
yea, we’re all half crazy
wondering if you’re alright
and I’ll share your letter
like proud papa's do
so send me a picture
a picture of you

verse 2
Ribbons on our front porch
proudly wave every day
but now several have been fading
from yellow to gray
and grandpa's been watching
every night all the news
thinking if he keeps staring
he’ll catch a glimpse of you

chorus
So send me a picture
or drop me a line
yea, we’re all half crazy
wondering if you’re alright
and I’ll share your letter
like proud papa's do
So send me a picture
a picture of you

bridge
every car passing by, every knock at the door
your mom catches her breath and prays it's you once more

chorus
So send me a picture
or drop me a line
Yea, we’re all half crazy
wondering if you’re alright
and I’ll share your letter
like proud papa's do
so send me a picture
a picture of you

tag
Yea send me a picture
Just a picture of you
