Air Mail to Heaven

Air Mail to Heaven - Carl Smith

A letter was written by a little girl's hand

It was sealed with her little heart's love

Said airmail to heaven to daddy

To your new home somewhere up above

As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed

So I opened the letter and I read

And to my surprise tears filled my eyes

Here's what the little girl said

Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new

She says that you're not coming home

She told me to try to understand

She can't go on living alone

Please daddy don't be mad at mommy

She needs someone for all she's been through

Cause he will never take your place

He'll be just filling in for you

I hope that you can forgive her

So I'm sealing this letter with love

And I'm sending it airmail to heaven

To your new home somewhere up above

Well I finished and I folded the letter

The tears rolling down my face

For I was the new man she mentioned

Who was taking her daddy's place

For I was the new man she mentioned

Who was taking her daddy's place
