Well I wrote you a letter
And I put it in the mail today
Then I watched that postman walk down my street
Take my letter away
Yes I wrote you a letter
'Cause you won't talk to me anyway
So read what I write 'cause I stayed up all night
Finding words I could never say
Oh I thought you should know what's been on my mind
I haven't seen you in a long long time
I carried you on my shoulders, honey
Said I'd love you 'til the day I die
First my heart went astray
And then you stole it away
Was I just another foolish game?
You always noticed when the train rolled by
You always told me when my shoe's untied
But did you ever even notice
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my-
Well you wrote me a letter
I just got it in the mail today
I knew you'd left but didn't think you'd go
From New York to Santa Fe
Well I know I could've done you better
'Cause it takes two to tango, babe
Thought I made you see what you meant to me
But you were busy planning your escape
Well you told me I always came home late
Stinking of whiskey, not talking straight
You took no time to think it over
The tired heart just couldn't wait
First my heart went astray
And now you've thrown it away
But did you ever even know my name?
You always noticed when the train rolled by
You always told me when my shoe's untied
But did you ever even notice
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my-
First my heart went astray
And now you've thrown it away
Was I just another foolish game?
You always noticed when the train rolled by
You always told me when my shoe's untied
But did you ever even notice
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look in my eye
The look-
Oh darling won't you look me in the eye
