[Dolly Parton - Letter to Heaven lyrics]
An old man was sitting at his table one day
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up
On his knee saying "won't you please write
A letter for me?"
"Oh what will I say in this letter I pray?
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
And I'm coming to see her real soon I hope"
He choked back a big lump
That rose in his throat
Tell mommy I love her, the little girl said
And I pray every evening before I go to bed
That God up in heaven will answer my prayer
And take me to live with my mommy up there
He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining
Her little face pale
She was crossing the street to
The box o'er the way
And when she stepped out
Never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had
Been answered at last
The postman was passing and
Picked up the note
Addressed to the Master and
These words he spoke
"Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy I know"
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up
On his knee saying "won't you please write
A letter for me?"
"Oh what will I say in this letter I pray?
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
And I'm coming to see her real soon I hope"
He choked back a big lump
That rose in his throat
Tell mommy I love her, the little girl said
And I pray every evening before I go to bed
That God up in heaven will answer my prayer
And take me to live with my mommy up there
He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining
Her little face pale
She was crossing the street to
The box o'er the way
And when she stepped out
Never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had
Been answered at last
The postman was passing and
Picked up the note
Addressed to the Master and
These words he spoke
"Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy I know"
