Carl Smith — Air Mail To Heaven

[Verse 1] 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 your new home somewhere up above [Verse 2] As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed And so I opened the letter and I read To my surprise tears filled my eyes Here's what the little girl said [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Please daddy don't be mad at mommy She needs someone for all she's been through 'Cause he will never take your place He'll be just filling in for you [Verse 5] I hope that you can forgive her So I'm sealing this letter with love And I'm sending it airmail to heaven To your new home somewhere up above [Verse 6] Well I finished and I folded the letter The tears rolling down my face For I was the new man she mentioned Who was taking her daddy's place (For I was the new man she mentioned) Who was taking her daddy's place
