| Song | Letters That Cross In The Mail (Album Version) |
| Artist | Barbra Streisand |
| Album | Lazy Afternoon |
| 作词 : Holmes | |
| Last month | |
| While thinking of love | |
| I wrote him some words and mailed them away | |
| But the next day | |
| I found at my door a letter from Spain | |
| He'd sent long before | |
| And it's not read | |
| I haven't heard from you in weeks | |
| I must assume that you no longer care | |
| Too bad that's it, goodbye | |
| It's just amazing | |
| How loving can fail | |
| From letters that cross in the mail | |
| A life, a love, a chance to win it all | |
| Can pass you by, in the far gone seen | |
| And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night | |
| And he finds somebody else in-between | |
| I sat with swords in my heart | |
| And pen in a hand I wrote | |
| I'm glad that we're through | |
| Full of hate I mailed it | |
| But then in a week a letter arrived | |
| With love did it speak | |
| I loved the tender words you sent | |
| It seems I wronged you please forgive me | |
| I'll return by ship real soon | |
| But I know now that he'll never sail | |
| Our letters will cross in the mail | |
| It's just amazing | |
| How time brings a loss | |
| And loving can fail | |
| Like letters that cross in the mail... |
