I Received A Letter

Delbert McClinton

I received a letter just today 
From someone close to me so far away 
My heart started poundin', I begun to pray 
As I opened up the letter and read what she had to say 

She said, Darlin, 
The letter said, darlin' I love you 
Yes, I love you 
Bein' apart is breakin' my heart and killin' me 
Your picture used to help some 
Now it just makes me blue 
And everywhere I look I find bits and pieces 
Memories of you
