I tore my letter up..I couldn't even start..
to tell you what's really in my heart.
There's only so much that words can say..
so, I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
a spark with the sparkling dew.
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees,
and the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze..
I folded 'em up, sealed 'em with a kiss,
it's the kind of letter that you can't resist.
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
a spark with the sparkling dew.
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
In a day or two..just you wait and see..
you're gonna get a special del..ive..ry.
You'll know the way I feel..there can't be any doubt.
When you open it up..and let the love spill out.
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
a spark with the sparkling dew.
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
(INTERLUDE:)
In a day or two..just you wait and see..
you're gonna get a special del..ive..ry.
You'll know the way I feel..there can't be any doubt.
When you open it up..and let the love spill out.
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
and sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
a spark with the sparkling dew.
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
In a letter to you.
In a letter to you.
In a letter to you.
In a letter to you. (Fade.)
