The Letter

© 2004 Dave Drotos / Enzo Maddalena

Verse 1
Workin? late ? and he gets home past midnight
The house is dark ? he don?t bother with the lights
Ever since they?ve been apart he?s been trying to restart his life again
He pulls up ? there?s a box on his front porch
And a note - stuck inside a? his screen door
With his name written out in a hand that he knows so well
So he grabbed the box and letter and he took ?em inside, and
as he read the words she wrote, the tears welled in his eyes?

Chorus
She said here?s some things that you left behind
I?m not tryin? to be unkind
It?s not much, just odds and ends but
I can?t keep them
So try to understand and please,
Keep this box of memories
Hope you?re doin? well with your life
?Cuz I started over ? when I stopped being your wife

Verse 2
Took the box ? and tipped it over on the floor
Out spilled letters - that he?d written her before
Some old instant photographs, taken when they used to laugh at themselves
Life seemed picture-perfect in those moments long ago,
But the words she left for him today ? remind him it?s not so

Chorus

Half Verse (acoustic only)
He scooped up ? the box and letter in his arms
Grabbed his keys ? and got back into his car
Drove on over to her place, rang the bell and saw her face?

Last Chorus
He said here?s some things that we left behind
I?m not tryin? to be unkind
It?s not much, just odds and ends but
I can?t keep them,
So I?m just wonderin? if you can,
Take a chance on us again?(pause)

(acoustic only)

?Cuz I still need you in my life
And I stopped living ? when you stopped being my wife

Chorus (outro)
