This
is my last letter Dear, to you. This is my last letter, baby. I just can’t
write you anymore. My poor little finger’s swollen. I’m tired of pacing the
floor. Yes, I am. Threw away our favorite record. It was tearing me apart. This
is my seventh letter, baby. Just to satisfy my heart. (One) Monday, I wrote and
told you. I was all alone and blue. (Two) Tuesday, I wrote again, baby. I said
I loved no one, no one, no one but you. No, I don’t. (Three) Wednesday, I wired
you a cable, begging you to call. (Four) Thursday, I sent the message. I said,
I was wrong and, darling, please come back home. (Five) Friday, I woke up crying.
With the sniff of a tear. (Six) Come along long lonesome Saturday. I did the
same thing all over again. Yes, I did. (Seven) This is my seventh letter, baby.
On this bright Sunday morning. Just got off my knees from praying. I said, Oh,
LORD. Oh, LORD, Please send her back home. Can’t she hear me talking to her?
(This is my last letter Dear, to you) Seven letters. Seven days. Seven long
lonely, days. There, I said it. This is my last letter Dear, to you. Yes, it
is. Oh yes, it is. —Ben E King Seven Letters.
