One Sweet Letter From You - Kate Smith

I’m so blue, lonesome, too

And I wonder where you are tonight

Not one word have I heard

If you think of me, why don’t you write?

Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you

How I’d love to read one sweet letter from you

You know that you left me so worried and blue

I always keep singing, oh, what’ll I do

Though it’s not fair, and you don’t care for me dearly

Drop me a line, if you just sign, 'Yours sincerely'

You know that I’m praying the night and day through

Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you

Mail for Missus Jones

Missus Jones don’t need it

Missus Jones is happy all the day

Mail for Missus Brown

Missus Brown don’t read it

Opens them and throws them right away

Mail man rings, then he sings

«Got some letters for you»

Here’s what he brings

Mail for the baker

My dress maker

Word from the landlord, too

I get letters from everybody

Not a single word from you

Here’s what to do, even though you never crave me

And though you lie, say that you cry, it might save me

You know that I’m praying the night and day through

Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you

Since you’re gone, I keep on

Feeling just as sorry as can be

I just wrote you a note

I’d be happy if you’d answer me

Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you

How I’d love to read one sweet letter from you

You know that you left me so worried and blue

I always keep singing, oh, what’ll I do

Though it’s not fair, and you don’t care for me dearly

Drop me a line, if you just sign, 'Yours sincerely'

You know that I’m praying the night and day through

Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you
