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.
