The Letter Song

(Intro)
Let me write you a letter
Explaining all I need to say—
It might not make sense now,
I don't expect it to today.
But I've stuck it in the mailbox
And I'm shipping it away,
Because in that little envelope 
Is what's causing the delay.

(Instrumental)

(Verse 1)
Dear Friend.
This day reminds me of last year,
We played pretend.
It's another day I lost to fear

Oh Lord, if I have ever failed
Let me know at least that you prevailed

(Chorus)
You've got my doubt wrapped up
In the palm of your hand, the palm of your hand
And all of my fear
It's weird
But I know you're here
God I'll never give up
I'll never give up again.

(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)
Dear brother,
I've never known how to explain
To some other
Why I never said it to your face

Three little words, I love you
Brother, did I ever really show you?

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
When you read these words of mine
I hope you know that it's all right
Oh Lord, if I have failed tonight
God please assure me it's all right.

Are you OK?

We need to talk. I called you back last night, but there was no answer.
