No Letter Today
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
No letter today I have waited since dawn
I've waited each day since you have been gone
No letter today all the days are so long
Oh, why don't you write I know I was wrong.
Just give me one chance please won't you forgive
I'll love you my dear as long as I live
I know it's no use though I hope and I pray
The postman goes by no letter today.
--- Instrumental ---
Just give me one chance please won't you forgive
I'll love you my dear as long as I live
I know it's no use though I hope and I pray
The postman goes by no letter today...
