Letters That Cross in the Mail Barbra Streisand

[Verse 1]
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 his note 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 foreign scene
And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night
And he finds somebody else in-between

[Verse 2]
I sat with swords in my heart
And pen in my 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
And his note read
"I loved the tender words you sent
It seems I wronged you, please forgive me
I'll return, I should leave soon"
But oh, 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
