Dear nellie goodrich I am writing to you To tell you of my love Please don't be offended I mean you no harm Sure as the sun shines above Dear nellie goodrich I have watched from afar You pass my house each day The dreams that i dream Are always about you But, oh dear, what can i say? In these few words that i'm writing Is my life open for you to see And one wish that i wish constantly I wish that you could see me In these few words that i'm writing Is my life open for you to see And one wish that i wish constantly I wish that you could see me Dear nellie goodrich I am ending this letter I will wait patiently I will be thinking And dreaming about you Dear nellie, please think of me
