Letter From My Darling Lyrics

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.`
