Airmail To Heaven
Composer(s): Kent Westberry
Performer(s): Carl Smith



A letter was written by a little girl's hand
It was sealed with her little heart's love
'Said airmail to heaven to Daddy
To his new home somewhere up above
As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
So I opened the letter and read
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
I hope Daddy you can forgive her
She needs someone for all she's been through
And he will never take your place
He'll be just filling in for you
 
Well I finished and folded the letter
Tears rolling down my face
For I was the new man she mentioned
Who was taking her Daddy's place
