A letter was written by a little girl's hand It was sealed with her little heart's love Said airmail to heaven to daddy To your new home somewhere up above As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed And so I opened the letter and I read To my surprise tears filled my eyes Here's what the little girl said Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new She says that you're not coming home She told me to try to understand She can't go on living alone Please daddy don't be mad at mommy She needs someone for all she's been through Cause he will never take your place He'll be just filling in for you I hope that you can forgive her So I'm sealing this letter with love And I'm sending it airmail to heaven To your new home somewhere up above Well I finished and I folded the letter The tears rolling down my face For I was the new man she mentioned Who was taking her daddy's place For I was the new man she mentioned Who was taking her daddy's place
