lyrics

THE LETTER (key D)

WHILE CLEANING OUT MY DRESSER DRAW
JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
I FOUND MY OLD BIBLE
THAT I HAD PUT AWAY
WHILE FLICKING THROUGH ITS PAGES
LETTER FELL TO THE FLOOR
IT WAS ONE THAT YOU HAD WRITTEN ME
BACK IN `84

THE LETTER STARTED “DEAR JOHN
WHAT A PERFECT AND PRECIOUS GIFT
THIS LITTLE GIRL THAT WE HAVE MADE
HAS BOUGHT SUNSHINE TO MY DAY

I WANT TO THANK YOU NOW FROM DEEP WITHIN
GOD HAS BLESSED US AGAIN “
THE WORDS I READ BOUGHT TEARS INTO MY EYES

IN THE HUSTLE AND THE BUSTLE OF EVERY DAY LIVING
WE TEND TO FORGET - LIFE’S LITTLE BLESSINGS
WE LET THEM PASS US BUY - SOMETIMES WE ASK WHY
LORD OPEN MY EYES BEFORE ITS TO LATE

I STUMBLED THROUGH THAT OLD FRONT DOOR
FROM WORKING LATE AGAIN
MY BONES WERE TIRED AND WEARY
LOOKING FORWARD TO AN EARLY NIGHT

MY BOYS CAME RUSHING THROUGH THE DOOR
AN WE WRESTLED ON THE FLOOR
ITS TIMES LIKE THESE ITS GOOD TO KNOW
LIFE OFFERS SO MUCH MORE
