Your letter i read early this morning baby

And i read every word you had to say

Your letter i read early this morning baby

And i read every word you had to say

But if you love me like you say you do baby

I wanna know what in the world did you go away?



Your letter said that you're doing ok baby

But then i read: "please, let me come back home."

Your letter read that you're doing ok now baby

And then you said: "please, let me come back home"

You said you were so tired, so tired baby

And you would have someone you could call your own



Yes, my memory don't me fail on me baby

You know i'll remember the day you left

Yeah, my memory don't fail on me baby

You know i'll remember the day you left

You know you said baby: "i believe you now baby."

That you were grown and you've been taking care yourself



Oh, and here is my answer to you letter baby

And the words come straight from my heart

Oh, here is the answer to you letter baby

And the words come straight from my heart

Yes, i loved you then i can still love you now baby

But i'm afraid to play the bar
