BARBRA STREISAND - Letters That Cross In The Mail lyrics

rate me

Last month while thinking of love

I wrote him some words and mailed them away

But the next day I found at my door a letter from Spain

He'd sent long before and his note read

I haven't heard from you in weeks

I must assume

That you no longer care

Too bad that's it, goodbye

It's just amazing how loving can fail

From letters that cross in the mail

A life, a love, a chance to win it all

Can pass you by in the foreign scene

And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night

And he finds somebody else in between

I sat with swords in my heart

And pen in my hand I wrote

I'm glad that we're through

Full of hate I mailed it

But then in a week a letter arrived

With love did it speak and his note read

I loved the tender words you sent

It seems I wronged you, please forgive me

I'll return, I should leave soon

But God, I know now

That he'll never sail

Our letters will cross in the mail

It's just amazing how time brings a loss

And loving can fail like letters that cross in the mail
