The Letter lyrics

If I ever write this letter

The pages I could write

But I don't know where to send it

You have vanished

Heaven knows where you live

Heaven only knows

If I ever write this letter

Bitter words it would contain

Just and unrequited lover

Wishing she had never

Spoken your name

Had never known your name

But if I ever write this letter

The truth it would reveal

Knowing you brought me pleasure

How I'll often treasure

Moments that we knew

The precious, the few
