I tore my letter up..I couldn't even start..
B E
to tell you what's really in my heart.

There's only so much that words can say..
B E
so, I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.
CHORUS:
E A E
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
B E
and sent it off in a letter to you.
E A E
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
B E
and sent it off in a letter to you.
A E A E
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
A E B
a spark with the sparkling dew.
E A E
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
B E
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,
B
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..
