Thank you for your letter
that I read the day before ten
It's always good to hear from you
and I'd like to know how you've been
I never have the time to reply
but today I surely should
So I want to put pen to paper
just to wish you all things good
Well, I guess I don't really know you,
but you seem like a friend to me
Some have a bit of a gender
So if you say you need someone
to be there on the end of that line
Then here I am, I do what I can,
I'll write you from time to time
And I say good things always,
good to hear your voice again
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not your soul be blue
Don't get stranded in the dark
and let the world be good to you
But there's something I should tell you,
I sense that things are winding down
and I don't feel all that strong
So don't get close or depend on me,
I wouldn't want to let you down
You might start looking for another friend
to be here when I'm not around
And I say good things always,
I trust you're doing fine.
I'll see you again sometime.
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not your soul be blue.
Don't get stranded in the dark,
and let the world be good to you.
You can see more in the dark
You can see more in the sky
when all the clouds are broke
You can hear the words loud and clear
only when you're listening
when there's someone missing
So I leave you with this message
of southern hope and grace
I mean it from the pit of my heart,
A wise old man said the same to me,
and it helped me along the way
So I pass it on to you now,
Pray you have good things always,
I'm sorry but I have to go
and I'll see you down the road
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not your soul be blue
Don't get stranded in the dark
and let the world be good to you
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not your soul be blue
Don't get stranded in the dark
and let the world be good to you
