Description
This is the story of a girl I met a long time ago. (Pre-internet) She was in the military and home on leave. We dated until she had to return to California. I promised her I would keep in touch by writing. I sat down to write the first letter to her and it ended up becoming a song. I'm not sure where she is today, but I hope she has fond memories of me when she hears this song...(:
Lyrics
Verse 1 I just sit down here to write you this letter, but I don’t know what to say. I woke up this morning, reached out for you and remembered that you’d gone away. We didn’t have much time before we had to say goodbye. But it was long enough that your leaving brought tears to my eyes. Chorus How do you let a good thing go never knowing if it will return? How do you stop the feelings that made this old of mine burn? I don’t know if I can take the hurt that I’m feeling inside. If you don’t know that I love you Take another look in my eyes. Verse 2 It’s raining here, Saturday morning, after a long, lonely night. And I hate these miles that have come between us. You know it just doesn’t seem right. Never mind the stains on the paper. I’m sure the pain will ease with time. It’s just that right here and now, I’m going out of my mind. Chorus How do you let a good thing go never knowing if it will return? How do you stop the feelings that made this old of mine burn? I don’t know if I can take the hurt that I’m feeling inside. If you don’t know that I love you Take another look in my eyes. Alternate Chorus How do you let a good thing go never knowing if it will return? How do you stop the feelings that made this old of mine burn? I don’t know if I can take one single breath of goodbye. If you don’t know that I love you Take another look in my eyes.
