Solomon Burke Letter From My Darling
THIS IS THE SWEETEST LETTER
THAT I HAVE EVER READ.
IT WAS WRITTEN BY MY SWEETHEART
AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID.
(IT READS,) `MY DEAREST DARLING,
STILL LOVE YOU FAITHFULLY
AND I HOPE THESE FEW LINES
FIND YOU STILL IN LOVE WITH ME.`
THE MORE I READ THIS LETTER,
THE MORE IT TOUCHES MY HEART.
RIGHT HERE SHE SAYS DON`T FIORGET HER
ALTHOUGH WE`RE MILES APART.
SHE CLOSES OUT BY SAYING,
`I THINK I`LL GO TO BED,
SO I`LL KISS THIS LETTER, DARLING,
BUT I WISH IT WAS YOU INSTEAD.`
