Letter to My Love

[Verse 1]
It's strange the way my heartbeat seems to falter
Each time my weary bootheels lead me home
For between us lies a distance time can't alter
I'm afraid when I return that you'll be gone

[Chorus]
So darlin', I'm writing you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly, it will tell you
That though I'm gone, I still remember you

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry if my leavin' made you doubt me
Made you sorry for the things used to say
And I hope that you remembered what I askеd you
And kept your promise while I was away

[Chorus]
Yеs, darlin', I'm writing you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly, it will tell you
That though I'm gone, I still remember you

[Verse 3]
Please tie a long black hair with bright blue ribbon
Keep it high up until the day that I come home
And when my wanderin's finished and I'm with you
Loose it, let it dangle in the morning sun

[Chorus]
Darlin', I've written you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly, it will tell you
That though I'm gone, I still remember you
