I tore my letter up
I couldn`t even start
To tell you what`s really in my heart.
There`s only so much that words can say
So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring
made a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark - the moon from the dark
A spark with the sparkling dew.
VVith a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent `em off in a letter to you.
I took the mornin` sun peekin` through the trees
And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
I folded `em up - sealed `em with a kiss
It`s the kind of letter that you can`t resist.
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow . . .
In a day or two - just you wait and see
You`re gonna get a special delivery.
You`ll know the way I feel -
There can`t be any doubt
When you open it up
And let the love spill out.
Oh
I want you to know
That I took a rainbow . . .
You know
I sent `em off
In a letter to you.
You know
I sent `em off
In a letter to you. . . .
