      THE LETTER I NEVER DID MAIL 
                     -- Bill Boyd -- 
(G) Alone by my window I'm dream-(D)-ing, 
   Of the days when I called you my (G) own; 
   When each day brought it's blessing from Heav-D-en, 
   And the nights were the sweetest I've (G) known. 
   But it seems that the (C) fates are a-G-gainst me, 
   For (A7) even in love I have (D) failed; 
   In my (G) hand is a symbol of  (D) sorrow, 
   It's the letter I never did (G) mail. 
 
   Roses can't live without sun-(D)-shine, 
   Violets can't live in the - (G)- snow; 
   I can never live dear with-(D)- out you, 
   Oh, why have you treated me -(G)- so? 
   For me there's no (C) hope of  to-(G)- morrow, 
   I'm (A7) just like a ship without a (D) sail; 
   In my (G) hand is a symbol of (D) sorrow, 
   It's the letter I never did (G) mail. 
 
   Like some heavenly dream you caressed me, 
   As we kissed 'neath the stars on thet night; 
   When you offered your hand Heaven blessed me; 
   And my sad heart was filled with delight. 
   For you dear I'd beg, steal or borrow, 
   My undying love will not fail; 
   In my hand is a symbol of sorrow, 
   It's the letter I never did mail.
