I tore my letter up
   I couldn't even start
   To tell you what's really in my heart.
   There's only so much that words can say
   So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.
   Oh
   I want you to know that I took a rainbow
   And sent it off in a letter to you.
   Took some flowers in the spring
   made a sweet clover ring
   And sent it off in a letter to you.
   Took a song from the lark - the moon from the dark
  
   A spark with the sparkling dew.
   VVith a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
   I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
   I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees
   And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
   I folded 'em up - sealed 'em with a kiss
  
   It's the kind of letter that you can't resist.
   Oh
   I want you to know that I took a rainbow . . .
  
   In a day or two - just you wait and see
  
   You're gonna get a special delivery.
   You'll know the way I feel -
   There can't be any doubt
   When you open it up
   And let the love spill out.
  
   Oh
   I want you to know
   That I took a rainbow . . .
   You know
   I sent 'em off
   In a letter to you.
   You know
   I sent 'em off
   In a letter to you. . . .
