I want to thank you for all of the letters that you've been sending to me
For it's good to lean on the strength of my family
To help me get through every day
Without these letters from home to carry me on
My life would fall
My life would fall

To pieces
Every word that I read
Brings comfort to me
I love my letters from home
And it's good to hear from
The woman who raised me
Some things
And life never changed
When I was in trouble
She was always praying
And sending her blessings my way
Thank you, Mom
Without these letters from home
To carry me on
My life would fall
To pieces
Every word that I read
Brings comfort to me
I love my letters from home
And the next time you write
Maybe you could send a picture of yourself
It would really be another ray of light in this dismal place
And it would be great to see your face every day
Without these letters from home
To carry me on
My life would fall
To pieces
Every word that I read
Brings comfort to me
I love my letters from home
I love my letters from home
