A letter was written by a little girl?s hand, it was sealed with her little heart?s love
Said air mail 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 fill in for you
I hope daddy 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've 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
