Love Letter
Stan Rogers
Now here's a pic_-ture_ of_ me_ writing you a love letter_ To make me feel___ better_ 'cause I'm so far_ from_ home_ Now it seems_ like_ forever__ since the last time_ I saw you_ And I'd sure like to call__ you__ 'cause I feel so__ a-a_-lone_ _ _|_ _ _ | _ _ Now it's another co-o-old__ city_ but the same_ old_ hotel room_ They all look the same____ to me_ af -ter_ a_ while_ A bed and a window___ over some_ dirty alley_ Looking on_ to the streets___ meeting no- bo-o-o_-dy's smile_ Now every tel__-lephone_ says_ "Hold the line"_ Like the preachers did when I-i_ was just_ a kid_ And it's strange how it still_ touches me__ after all this time_ They said_ "Keep your light_ shining brightly"_ And I just can't take it lightly_ I'm still try____ _-ing to find it_ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ |_|_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ | _ |_ _ _ Now every e__-vening brings_ another show__ To empty faces screaming o_-ver too much_ beer_ And what they find_ to talk about_ I guess I'll_ never ever know_ But I'm_ leaving tomorrow and I don't regret it_ Just one more town and then I_ can forget_ It's a pic_-ture_ of me_ writing you-ou_ a love letter_ To make me feel___ better_ 'cause I've_ been_ fee_ -ling_ low_ Hey_ it seems_ like_ forever__ since the la-a-ast__ time I saw you_ But it won't be_ much longer____ _ now_ look out__ honey_ You know I'm_ coming on_ ho-o-ome____
