Lyrics:
From a cheap hotel in Dallas On a cold December day A telegram was traveling on its way LiKe a sad old song from somewhere In the distance of a dream Flashing 'cross the darkness On the telegraph machine It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Please help me" - stop Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop Well, the taxicab it took her To the airport in the dawn She knew in just an hour she'd be gone She was standing near the platform 'Bout to board the big Pan Am When someone came And put the lonely message in her hand It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Please help me" - stop Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop Headin' high above Chicago Just a-reachin' for the skies She found herself with teardrops in her eyes And a little boy beside her asked her "Mama, where is Pop ?" And she just broke down a-cryin' 'Cause she knew she couldn't stop It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop "Ah, you said you'd always love me - how could you ?" - stop "In pieces on the runway - I love you." - stop
