Lyrics
Your letter I read early this morning baby
Reading a letter received early in the morning from the baby
And I read every word you had to say
Reading and comprehending every word present in the letter
Your letter I read early this morning baby
Reiterating the act of reading the letter received in the morning from the baby
And I read every word you had to say
Re-emphasizing the thorough reading of every word in the letter
But if you love me like you say you do baby
Questioning the baby's claim of love, expressing curiosity about the reason for their departure
I want to know what in the world did you go away
Seeking clarification about why the baby left despite professing love
Your letter said that you're doing ok baby
Noting the baby's claim of being okay in the letter
But then I read please, let me come back home
Requesting to return home despite claiming to be okay
Your letter read that you're doing ok now baby
Reiterating the statement of being okay in the letter
And then you said please, let me come back home
Re-emphasizing the plea to come back home despite the claim of being okay
You said you were so tired, so tired baby
Expressing tiredness and a desire for someone to call their own
And you would have someone you could call your own
Desiring a sense of belonging and companionship
Yes, my memory don't me fail on me baby
Affirming a strong memory, specifically recalling the day the baby left
You know I'll remember the day you left
Reassuring the vivid recollection of the departure day
Yeah, my memory don't fail on me baby
Reiterating the strong memory regarding the baby's departure
You know I'll remember the day you left
Re-emphasizing the vivid recollection of the departure day
You know you said baby I believe you now baby
Recalling the baby's assertion of maturity and self-sufficiency
That you were grown and you've been taking care yourself
Acknowledging the baby's claim of being grown and independent
Oh, and here is my answer to your letter baby
Presenting a heartfelt response to the baby's letter
And the words come straight from my heart
Ensuring the sincerity of the response coming from the heart
Oh, here is the answer to your letter baby
Reiterating the genuine response to the baby's letter
And the words come straight from my heart
Emphasizing the heartfelt nature of the words in the response
Yes, I loved you then I can still love you now baby
Affirming past love and the potential for continued affection, albeit with apprehension
But I'm afraid to play the bar
Expressing fear or reluctance to engage in a barroom situation or lifestyle
