A letter was written by a little girl's hand
It was sealed with her little heart's love
Said airmail to heaven to daddy
To your new home somewhere up above
As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed
And so I opened the letter and I read
To my surprise tears filled my eyes
Here's what the little girl said
Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new
She says that you're not coming home
She told me to try to understand
She can't go on living alone
Please daddy don't be mad at mommy
She needs someone for all she's been through
Cause he will never take your place
He'll be just filling in for you
I hope that you can forgive her
So I'm sealing this letter with love
And I'm sending it airmail to heaven
To your new home somewhere up above
Well I finished and I folded the letter
The tears rolling down my face
For I was the new man she mentioned
Who was taking her daddy's place
For I was the new man she mentioned
Who was taking her daddy's place
