I just got your letter dear sweetheart and darling I miss you oh so much
Your letter has cheered me but I'm lonesome lonesome just to feel your loving touch

Letters have no arms dear to hold me and kisses on paper are so cold
These sweet things you write in your letters I wanna be with you dear when told

Oh letters never bring me the touch of your hand or none of your sweet loving charms
I get so lonesome for you darling and you know that letters have no arms
[ steel ]
Oh letters never bring me...
