A letter was written by a little girl’s hand
F

It was sealed with her little heart’s love
G7

Said airmail to heaven to daddy
D7
G7
To your new home somewhere up above

As a postman I knew that it couldn’t be mailed
F

And so I opened the letter and I read
F

To my surprise tears filled my eyes
G7

Here’s what the little girl said
F

She says that you’re not coming home

She told me to try to understand
D7
G7
She can’t go on living alone
C
Please daddy don’t be mad at mommy
F

She needs someone for all she’s been through
F
C
Cause he will never take your place
G7
C
He’ll be just filling in for you
F

So I’m sealing this letter with love
G7
C
And I’m sending it airmail to heaven
D7
G7
To your new home somewhere up above
C
Well I finished and I folded the letter
F

The tears rolling down my face
F

For I was the new man she mentioned
G7

Who was taking her daddy’s place
F

For I was the new man she mentioned

Who was taking her daddy’s place
