Letter to My Old Friend

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] An old envelope stamped years ago I sit and write a handwritten letter to someone far [Verse 1] I remember your mailbox always creaked Each morning I'd run out to find your letters Now I write line by line, telling of life Hoping this letter finds those old hands [Pre-Chorus] Some say who writes letters these days Some say a text is ten thousand times faster [Chorus] Letter to my old friend To the one who once stood by me Letter to my old friend Though the years have pushed us far apart [Verse 2] I tell of the old room, now under new owners Tell of the star-fruit tree still bearing sweet fruit Tell of the days missing someone to share with Then remind you not to forget those summer noons [Chorus] Letter to my old friend To the one who once stood by me Letter to my old friend Though the years have pushed us far apart [Bridge] The letter needs no reply, still I write For writing is how I keep you in my heart The handwriting trembles a little, my hand unsteady [Chorus] Letter to my old friend To the one who once stood by me Letter to my old friend Though the years have pushed us far apart [Outro] I fold the envelope, stick the stamp And take it to the old mailbox [Fade Out] [End]
