An old man was sitting at his table one day
  Writing a letter to pass time away
  His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
  Saying won't you please write a letter for me
  Oh what must I say in this letter I pray
  Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
  I coming to see her real soon I hope
  He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat
  
  He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
  To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope
  He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
  Her big eyes were shining her little face pale
  
  She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
  And when she stepped out never looked either way
  A big auto hit her and sped away fast
  The little girls prayers had been answered at last
  
  The postman was passing and picked up the note
  Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke
  Straight up into heaven this letter did go
  She's happy up there with her mommy I know
