THE LETTER I NEVER DID MAIL

-- Bill Boyd --

G Alone by my window I'm dream-D-ing,

Of the days when I called you my G own;

When each day brought it's blessing from Heav-D-en,

And the nights were the sweetest I've G known.

But it seems that the C fates are a-G-gainst me,

For A7 even in love I have D failed;

In my G hand is a symbol of D sorrow,

It's the letter I never did G mail.

Roses can't live without sun-D-shine,

Violets can't live in the - G- snow;

I can never live dear with-D- out you,

Oh, why have you treated me -G- so?

For me there's no C hope of to-G- morrow,

I'm A7 just like a ship without a D sail;

In my G hand is a symbol of D sorrow,

It's the letter I never did G mail.

Like some heavenly dream you caressed me,

As we kissed 'neath the stars on thet night;

When you offered your hand Heaven blessed me;

And my sad heart was filled with delight.

For you dear I'd beg, steal or borrow,

My undying love will not fail;

In my hand is a symbol of sorrow,

It's the letter I never did mail.
