Rowena, my darling, please don't let me down
A few words from you can lift me off the ground
Your letters are treasures, you don't know their worth
Days i don't receive one i fall back to earth
Rowena, my darling, just a word or two
It means the world to me, those few words from you
When you don't send them why can't you see?
It's as if the whole world had gone back on me
Tonight when i'm sleeping i will dream of you
Wishfully thinking, what else can i do?
Then in the morning it's always the same
When dreaming is done then i'll call out your name
Tonight when i'm sleeping i will dream of you
Wishfully thinking, what else can i do?
Until tomorrow i can only hope
For my heart's deliverance in an envelope
Rowena, my dear, yours to hand this a.m.
I'm holding your letter in heaven again
A few words from me now to make sure you know
As ever i'm yours, yes and i love you so
