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'm 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 girl's 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
