Dear sweet Evelyn,
I've missed your touch so
For without your caress
The colors don't show
I wish I were there
Wrapped safe in your arms
Looking into your eyes
Reflecting their charms
-
Dear sweet Evelyn,
Though much time has passed
While awaiting sweet sleep
You are my thoughts last
And when the sun wakes me
My smile is bright
For dreams holding you
Stayed with me last night
-
Dear sweet Evelyn,
How are you, my dear?
You picture in my mind
Suddenly isn't as clear
Perhaps it's these dark skies
Or the lack of the moon
I'm praying hard, my love
That I'll be home soon
-
Dear sweet Evelyn,
This letter's my last
My heart was so strong
But too much time's past
I tried to call up
The sound of your voice
But no soothing sounds came
No, only white noise
