Lyrics
The Letter
I hope that this finds you well
Just as it leaves me
They say that that place is Hell
Truly that grieves me
I think of you and pray that you're alright
You're in my heart all day and dreams at night
The doctor says I'm fine
And so is the baby
And that it will soon be time
Oh when will the day be
I think of you and pray that you're alright
You're in my heart all day and dreams at night
The girls at the factory said
The war was going poorly
Their sons and their husbands dead
This all must end surely
I think of you and pray that you're alright
You're in my heart all day and dreams at night
The list of the casualties
Outside the church daily
My Charlie come back to me
Me and our baby
I think of you and pray that you're alright
You're in my heart all day and dreams at night
