[Verse 1] I'm writing this letter to you from New York Watching the people oh And though I may be home before this reaches you I wanted you to know [Chorus] I'm sorry I can't stay It's the first word you heard me say Walking along in the moonlight Long ago I'm living fine When the summertime comes And the silver bells bloom And the wood seems to whisper a tune Know I wish I could stay The one that got away And dreamin of Mississippi blues [Verse 2] A year from now after a summer rain You'll walk in your garden Gathering flowers gather them in bloom You'll laugh and call me a fool [Chorus] I'm sorry I can't stay It's the first words you heard me say Walking along in the moonlight Long ago I'm living fine When the summertime comes And the silver bells bloom And the wood seems to whisper a tune Know I wish I could stay The one that got away Dreamin the Mississippi blues Odelae who
