Subject: Airmail to Heaven

This was, I believe, a Carl Smith tune around 1960
 
 
Airmail to Heaven
            recorded by Carl Smith around 1960-2
 
A[D] letter was written by a little girl's hand
    It was [G]sealed with her little heart's [D]love
'Said [A7]airmail to heaven to [D]Daddy
    To his [E7]new home somewhere up a[A7]bove
As a [D]postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
    So I [G]opened the letter and [D]read
[G]To my surprise, [D]tears filled my eyes
    Here's [A7]what the little girl [D]said
 
[Chs]
Dear Daddy, Mommy now loves someone new
    She [G]says that you're not coming [D]home
She [A7]told me to try to [D]understand,
    She [E7]can't go on living a[A7]lone
I [D]hope Daddy you can forgive her
    She needs [G]someone for all she's been [D]through
And [G]he will never [D]take your place,
    He'll be[A7] just filling in for [D]you.
 
Well I finished and folded the letter
    Tears rolling down my face
For I was the new man she mentioned
    Who was taking her Daddy's place
