As you read this letter that I write to you
C G
Sweetheart I hope you understand
C G
That you're the only love I knew
D G
Please forgive me if you can
[chorus]
Sweetheart I beg you to come home tonight
I'm so blue and all alone
I promise that I'll treat you right
Love, oh love oh please come home
That old wind is cold and slowly creeping 'round
And the fire is burning low
The snow has covered up the ground
Your baby's hungry sick and cold
