I received your letter darling just today
First time you wrote a line since you went away
You said things about me and you know they're not so
But I'll love you when today is a long time ago

Yes I'll love you when today is a long time ago
Why you had to go away is something I don't know
But like the good book tells us we'll reap just what we sow
And I'll love you when today is a long time ago

I look at your picture seeing all my love with you
And I remember darling all the things we used to do
You have the one and only key to what my future holds
And I'll love you when today is a long time ago

Yes I'll love you when today is a long time ago
Why you had to go away is something I don't know
But like the good book tells us we'll reap just what we sow
And I'll love you when today is a long time ago
