As I walked alone in the country one day,
At my feet fluttered a note.
I opened it up, and to my great surprise,
I read these strange words someone wrote;

If anyone finds this, I love you,
I love you, I love you.
If anyone finds this, I love you,
Honest and truly I do!

I smiles at the note, then I tossed it aside,
But it haunted me day and night,
Until I just had to retrace every step,
In hopes I would learn who would write;

If anyone finds this, I love you,
I love you, I love you.
If anyone finds this, I love you,
Honest and truly I do!

Nearby was a house with a sign on the door,
And there, "home for orphans" I read.
A small face looked down from a window at me,
And somehow I knew who had said;

If anyone finds this, I love you,
I love you, I love you.
If anyone finds this, I love you,
Honest and truly I do!

And then toward that window my heart seemed to soar,
I walked up the path and I knocked at the door!
