Just Three Letters For Christmas (Remastered) - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]
Written by:Walter Brennan[00:00:00]
She's been out that kitchen all mornin' now[00:00:00]
'Cause tomorrow is Christmas eve[00:00:03]
Now I ain't had the heart to show her some how[00:00:06]
These letters I hate for her to read[00:00:10]
Yesterday mornin' I went after the mail[00:00:14]
I always bring it back to her to open[00:00:18]
If is some reason though I read johnny's letter[00:00:22]
And he ain't comin' home like we was hopin'[00:00:27]
With him bein' the yougest in his first year away[00:00:31]
I knowed it was gonna hurt her some[00:00:35]
So I didn't tell her right then thought I'd wait till today[00:00:39]
Till after the mail had run[00:00:44]
Then this mornn' there was letter from both the girls[00:00:48]
Now they wouldn't be writtin' if they was comin' home[00:00:52]
So I opened them up and sure enough[00:00:56]
They got around to it 'fore long[00:01:00]
Dear mom and dad please understand[00:01:05]
Well it hurts so much to say[00:01:08]
I won't be there the way I planned[00:01:13]
No I won't be home Christmas day[00:01:17]
Now they all three got their reasons[00:01:21]
And each one believes the other two be comin' home[00:01:23]
And I know they'd find a way to be here Christmas eve[00:01:30]
If they knowed we was goin' be alone[00:01:34]
So she's out in that kitchen gettin' thing ready[00:01:38]
For a family that won't be here[00:01:42]
And in a little while now she'll read these letter[00:01:45]
And each one will bring a tear[00:01:49]
Dear mom and dad please understand[00:01:55]
What it hurts so much to say[00:01:59]
I won't be here the way I planned[00:02:02]
No they won't be home Christmas day[00:02:08]
