A letter was written by a little girl's hand
       F                              C
It was sealed with her little heart's love
     G7                   C
Said airmail to heaven to daddy
        D7                    G7
To your new home somewhere up above

     C
As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
       F                         C
And so I opened the letter and I read
F              C
To my surprise tears filled my eyes
       G7                   C
Here's what the little girl said


Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new
    F                           C
She says that you're not coming home
    G7                C
She told me to try to understand
    D7                  G7
She can't go on living alone

       C
Please daddy don't be mad at mommy
          F                          C
She needs someone for all she's been through
      F             C
Cause he will never take your place
         G7                  C
He'll be just filling in for you


I hope that you can forgive her
       F                        C
So I'm sealing this letter with love
        G7                    C
And I'm sending it airmail to heaven
        D7                    G7
To your new home somewhere up above 

     C
Well I finished and I folded the letter
    F                     C
The tears rolling down my face
    F                     C
For I was the new man she mentioned
        G7                 C
Who was taking her daddy's place

    F                     C
For I was the new man she mentioned
        G7                 C
Who was taking her daddy's place
