Letters That Cross in The Mail — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)

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

Hed sent long before

And his note read

I havent heard from you in weeks

I must assume that you no longer care

Too bad thats it, goodbye

Its 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 youll find your fate tomorrow night

And he finds somebody else in-between

I sat with swords in my heart

And pen in a hand I wrote

Im glad that were 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

Ill return, I should leave soon

But oh, I know now that hell never sail

Our letters will cross in the mail

Its just amazing

How time brings a loss

And loving can fail

Like letters that cross in the mail...
