Please Send Me a Letter

When will you know where you’re going?

How will you know if you’re there?

Why did you say you are leaving?

Please send me a letter if you care

 

(chorus)

When I rise in the morning

I’ll miss your sweet, sweet smile

When I come home in the evening

To that empty rocking chair

I’ll remember the way

You combed your long brown hair

Please send me a letter if you care

 

You say that you’re looking for someone

You say this was never your life

You say it’s not fair that I’m giving

My love to a stranger each night

 

Now I think that I know where you’re going

You’re looking for a part of yourself

I’m sorry you felt like a stranger

But you’ve given me so much more than you know

 

Thomas Hubbard (2003)
