Lyrics
One Page Letter -
I got a letter today... and I cried, (cried cried), yes I cried all day... thinkin bout every word, every word she had to say...
Verse #1:
You see my baby, she went away, and in this (one page letter) she said she's gone to stay :: Tears filled my eyes and the pain... snatched my... heart away... :: And the guilt I feel.. leaves me with nothing to say... you see her love went cold, cause my lies got old... :: Looking back on how things were I'll take the blame... I know it's all my fault... :: And now I'm sittin here... and I'm so ashamed.... I'm so ashamed... :; Yes I am... oh ya'll huh... so I gotta take the blame.
HOOK:
(Cheating and lying) and staying out all night... coming home in the early light... :: Not a word did she say... she just grabbed me,hugged me, and held me tight :: tears in her eyes she would say... (don't you know I love you)... :: But I'm just so glad that you came home... and you're still alright... :: So I'm not gonna ask you... (Where you been all night)... ::
Verse #2:
You see I took her love and I tossed it... I threw that girl away.... :: They say you reap what you sow... (and love can turn cold)... and now it's time for me to pay... :: Now that she's gone I can't sleep at night... (up till early light)... :: Staring at the door... (and pacing the floor ya'll) and hoping... and praying that she'll come home tonight :: I took her love and I threw it away... but I should have known (it would haunt me someday) :: I'm just a lonely man without her... now I'm all alone... watching the door and hoping she'll come home :: You see I cried my heart away... it was the things she had to say... I know I didn't do her right, and now I toss and turn... I toss and turn ya'll... in my empty bed all night...
HOOK:
Cheating and lying and staying out all night... coming home in the early light... :: Not a word did she say... she just grabbed me,hugged me, and held me tight :: tears in her eyes she would say... (don't you know I love you)... :: But I'm just so glad that you came home... and you're still alright... :: So I'm not gonna ask... Where you been all night...
Verse #3:
I got a letter today... and I cried, cried, cried... (cried all day)... thinkin bout every word, every word, every word she had to say... :: You see my baby done gone away, and in this (one page letter)... she said she's gone to stay :: Well tears filled my eyes and the pain... it snatched my heart away.... :: Looking back on how things were... well I'll take the blame... I know it's all my fault... :: And now I'm sittin here... and I'm so ashamed.... I'm so ashamed... :: (Yea) And now I know how she feels... :: Oh I don't understand how did she do it ya'll... How in the world did she ever (how did she) stand the pain
HOOK:
Cheating and lying... and staying out all night... (coming home in the early light)... :: Not a word did she say she just grabbed me,hugged me, and then she held me tight :: With tears in her eyes she would say... don't you know I love you... :: But I'm just so glad that you came home... and you're still alright... :: So I'm not gonna ask... Where you been all night...
