Lyrics

I didn't notice that the envelope was from Mexico
I didn't acknowledge that all I wanted was sleep after a long days work
And longer subway ride home
All I saw was your name at the top left corner of the paper in my hand

The year book list showed all the best, and we were stars on stage
And though I'll never remember a line, I still see your face
Shining through campus halls, and walking through the greenery,
That's a face I like to see

And dear sweet Rachel I can never get a handle on my feelings when I want to
And I tell you this cause I know
You put it all in writing. That's a little bit frightening...

Maybe the dream we had, well it should have some true
I was standing on the football field in my letter coat
And I swung you 'round, oh, till you thought you could fly
Maybe that was a dream meant to pass us by

And dear sweet Rachel I can never get a handle on my feelings when I want to
And I tell you this cause I know
You put it all in writing. That's a little bit frightening...

Funny how it seems you're never far away
Funny how it seems the closer I get to the edge of my rope, well
The bigger the net for my fall, to keep my spirits up,
Drink from my loving cup

And dear sweet Rachel you can never get a handle on your feelings when you
Want to and I tell you this cause I know
It's the song I'm singing. It's the gift I bring to you.

Funny how it seems, you're never far away.
