Dottie West - Puttin' Pain on Paper lyrics

(Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue) When I began this letter I had hopes I wouldn't cry But I always knew it would cause me more than a stamp to tell you goodbye Puttin' pain on paper mailing all my hurt to you Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue Now this pen lets me say the things I could never say to you But these shaky lines would look as sad in any shade of blue Puttin' pain on paper... I'm glad this ink is permanent it proves I'm not all done Cause if tears could wash these words away you wouldn't know who they're from Puttin' pain on paper... Crying in permanent blue
