AIRMAIL TO HEAVEN
Carl Smith - around 1960-2
 

A letter was written by a little girl's hand
It was sealed with her little heart's love
'Said airmail to heaven to Daddy
To his new home somewhere up above
As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
So I opened the letter and read
To my surprise, tears filled my eyes
Here's what the little girl said
 
Dear Daddy, Mommy now loves someone new
She says that you're not coming home
She told me to try to understand,
She can't go on living alone
I hope Daddy you can forgive her
She needs someone for all she's been through
And he will never take your place,
He'll be just filling in for you.
 
Well I finished and folded the letter
Tears rolling down my face
For I was the new man she mentioned
Who was taking her Daddy's place
