lirik lagu jim reeves – the letter edged in black
i was standin’ by my window yesterday morning
without a thought of sorrow or of care
when i saw the postman comin’ up the pathway
with such a smiling face and jolly air.
he rang the bell and whistled as he waited
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
i open it and sifted what it said:
“come home my boy, your dear old daddy wants you
come home my boy, your dear old mother’s dead.”
— instrumental —
“the last words your mother ever uttered
tell my boy i want him to come back
my eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
as, i write to 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.”…
