I just got your letter dearest sweetheart
And darlin’, I miss you, oh, so much
Your letter has cheered me but I’m lonesome
Lonesome just to feel you lovin’ touch

CHORUS
Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

CHORUS
Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms
