Solomon Burke - Letter from My Darling lyrics

This is the sweetest letter That I have ever read. It was written by my sweetheart And this is what she said. (it reads,) 'my dearest darling, Still love you faithfully And I hope these few lines Find you still in love with me.' The more I read this letter, The more it touches my heart. Right here she says don't forget her Although we're miles apart. She closes out by saying, 'I think I'll go to bed, So I'll kiss this letter, darling, But I wish it was you instead.'
