 Send "The Letter" Ringtone to your Cell 

 (Gary Heyde/Carolyn Swilley)



I found a
letter in an old book,

I just bought from a
second-hand shop.

It was pressed between two
pages near the end,

And I read those secrets
somebody never got.



She wrote about
love, 

She wrote about cheating.

She
wrote about his wife, his kids:

An' she wrote
about leavin'.



I took the letter to an
old man on Maple Street.

His smile was bitter
sweet.

As he held the tide of memories in his
hands,

He finally knew the reason he never
saw her again.



He read about love,


He read about cheating.

He read about
his wife, his kids:

An' he read about
leavin'. 



As he folded the
letter,

He talked about the mistakes he'd
made in his younger days.

Though he never
meant to hurt her, she knew,

He'd do what he
had to.

So she moved away.

And by the
look in his eyes,

I knew that that love was
still alive.

Hidden between the lines of the
letter.



Oh, an' she wrote about love,


She wrote about cheating.

She wrote
about his wife, his kids:

An' she wrote about
leavin'.

In the letter.
