Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, ooh, I'm so blue
'Cause I'm worried over you
Oh I, I sometimes wonder
Why I never hear from you
[Verse 2]
You promised to write me
Each and every day
And I haven't heard from you
Since you went away
Ooh, ooh, I sit by my window pane
Hoping for a letter
One that never came
My heart cries for just one little line
Anything to say you're mine
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Well, I said a prayer
Every night
Hoping, hoping and praying
Someday, someday you'd write
Ooh, ooh, my heart cries for one little line
Anything to say you're mine
Written by: Sonny Thompson
