Love Please Come Home

As you read this letter that I write to you
Sweetheart I hope you'll understand
That you're the only love I knew (note 1)
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
Our baby's hungry, sick and cold (note 2)

[chorus]

As you read this letter that I write to you (note 3)
Sweetheart I hope you'll understand
That you're the only love I knew
Please forgive me if you can

[chorus]
[chorus]
Love, oh love, oh please come home
Love, oh love, oh please come home
