Sorry I Can’t Stay

[Verse 1]
I’m writing this letter to you from New York
Watching the people oh
And though I may be home before this reaches you
I wanted you to know

[Chorus]
I’m sorry I can’t stay
It’s the first word you heard me say
Walking along in the moonlight
Long ago I’m living fine
When the summertime comes
And the silver bells bloom
And the wood seems to whisper a tune
Know I wish I could stay
The one that got away
And dreamin of Mississippi blues

[Verse 2]
A year from now after a summer rain
You'll walk in your garden
Gathering flowers gather them in bloom
You’ll laugh and call me a fool

[Chorus]
I’m sorry I can’t stay
It’s the first words you heard me say
Walking along in the moonlight
Long ago I’m living fine
When the summertime comes
And the silver bells bloom
And the wood seems to whisper a tune
Know I wish I could stay
The one that got away
Dreamin the Mississippi blues
Odelae who
