Lyrics
{Verse 1}
What can I write in this letter? I can say that I'll love you for life.
We should have grown older together, a couple with children, a husband and wife.
Puppy dogs playing around by our feet; tinsel and turkey on each Christmas Day.
Summer vacations and great celebrations, but the battlefield took you away.
{Verse 2}
You were my love and my lifeline. What can I cling to now that you're gone?
I'll cherish our love for a lifetime. You'll live inside me from this moment on.
Pictures keep floating around in my head; memories are living, they simply can't die.
Moments of pleasure I'll treasure forever, I never can wave you goodbye.
{Chorus}
It's just a letter, I know; it's just a letter I wrote.
Letters can last; they can mirror the past.
Words are just words, even so,
This is the letter I've written,
These words will find you, just to remind you,
You'll always be with me, I won't let you go.
{Bridge}
One night, I might find a letter in a dream as I sleep in my bed.
It might say you'll never forget me. It might say you'll live in my head.
{Chorus}
It's just a letter , I know; it's just a letter I wrote.
Letters can last; they can mirror the past.
Words are just words, even so,
This is the letter I've written,
These words will find you, just to remind you,
You'll always be with me, I won't let you go.
{Tag}
It's just a letter, I know;
A letter that won't let you go.
