Karaoke Track: Letter Edged In Black by Jim Reeves (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

Iwas standing
by my window

yesterday morning
without a thought
of sorrow or of care

When I saw the postman
coming up the pathway

with such a smiling face
and jolly air

He rang the bell
and whistled as he
waited

And then he said
Good morning to you Jack

But he little knew the sorrow
that he brought me

when he handed me
a letter edged in black

With trembling hands
I took the letter from him

Iopened it and
this is what it said

Come home, my boy,
Your dear old daddy
wants you

Come home, my boy,
your dear old mother's dead

The last words your
mother ever uttered

were 'Tell my boy I want
him to come back'

My eyes are blurred,
my poor old heart
is breaking as I'm

writing you this
letter edged in black

Those angry words
I wish I'd never spoken

You know I didn't mean them
don't you, Jack?

May the angels
bear me witness,
I am asking

your forgiveness
in this letter
edged in black
