Letter To Heaven Lyrics - Letter To Heaven: Songs Of Faith & Inspiration - Dolly Parton

An old man was sitting at his table one day 

Writing a letter to pass time away 

His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee 

Saying won't you please write a letter for me 

Oh what must I say in this letter I pray 

Tell mommy I miss her since she went away 

I coming to see her real soon I hope 

He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat 

He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope 

To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope 

He stamped it and handed it to her to mail 

Her big eyes were shining her little face pale 

She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way 

And when she stepped out never looked either way 

A big auto hit her and sped away fast 

The little girls prayers had been answered at last

The postman was passing and picked up the note 

Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke 

Straight up into heaven this letter did go 

She's happy up there with her mommy I know
