Love Letters

I was going through memories and treasures today
Found your love letters I’d hidden away
There was tender emotion with each stroke of your pen
I opened the letters and read them again

Remember I love you
With a heart I have loved you
I’d like to claim you and name you my own
Remember I love you
With a heart I have loved you
When you doubt that I do
Count the tears scattered through my love letters to you

I counted the gifts you had given so free
You never stopped giving with no word from me
They were wrapped in silk ribbons with notes marked in red
I turned through the pages and here’s what you said

By the light of a candle I picked up a pen
Words don’t come easy. How do I begin?
Oh I pray I’ve not waited to long to reply
Angel bear my letter to my love in the sky

I just read your answer with tears in my eyes
The stage has been set for the groom and the bride
But I shudder to think just how sad life would be
If I’d never heard your love letters to me
