CA letter was written by a little girl's hand
FC
It was sealed with her little heart's love
G7C
Said airmail to heaven to daddy
D7G7
To your new home somewhere up above
C
As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
FC
And so I opened the letter and I read
FC
To my surprise tears filled my eyes
G7C
Here's what the little girl said
Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new
FC
She says that you're not coming home
G7C
She told me to try to understand
D7G7
She can't go on living alone
C
Please daddy don't be mad at mommy
FC
She needs someone for all she's been through
FC
Cause he will never take your place
G7C
He'll be just filling in for you
I hope that you can forgive her
FC
So I'm sealing this letter with love
G7C
And I'm sending it airmail to heaven
D7G7
To your new home somewhere up above
C
Well I finished and I folded the letter
FC
The tears rolling down my face
FC
For I was the new man she mentioned
G7C
Who was taking her daddy's place
FC
For I was the new man she mentioned
G7C
Who was taking her daddy's place
