1. I tore my letter up, I couldn't even start
A D
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.
D G D
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
A D
and sent it off in a letter to
you.

G D
Took some flowers in the spring made a sweet clover ring,
A D
and sent it off in a letter to
you.
G D G D
Took a song from the lark, the moon from the dark,
G D A
a spark with the sparkling dew.
D G D
With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love,
A D
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.

2. I took the mornin' sun peekin'
through the trees,
A D
and
the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze,
D
I folded 'em
up, sealed 'em with a kiss,
A
it's
the kind of letter that you can't resist.

you open it up, and let the love spill out.
