No letter today

No answer to my love letter
To soothe my aching heart
Why did God ever let
True love like us to part


    No letter in the mail today
    No answer from my love
    Nobody knows what I've been thru
    No one but God above


This is what I wrote to her
I know I'm to blame
Let me prove my love for you
And then I'll sign my name


    * Refrain


While walking down this lonesome road
Just traveling while I find
If there's no letter in the box
I'll leave this world behind


    * Refrain
