Letter

Don't know where you've been
And I don't know what you do
And I can't describe this feeling
Of not ever knowing you

I've imagined you forever
And I know you must be real
But I've spent my life without you
And I don't know how you feel

So I'm writing you this letter
To introduce myself to you
And I hope that when you read it
That you will meet me too

I don't know where to begin
And I don't know what to say
I just hope that when you read it
That you just won't walk away

I just trust the words will come out
And when you hold it in your hand
That the words will tell my story
And that you will understand

Why I'm writing you this letter
Though I don't know where to start
I just know I've got to do it
Cause you're deep inside my heart

So I'm writing you this letter
And I'm sending it today
And I hope that when you read it
That you will want to stay

Knocking on your door
Footsteps on the floor
I know I'm not alone
As I step inside your home

Look me in the eye
I said, "Hi,
I'm your long lost child,"
And you said, "Stay awhile" (stay awhile)

So I'm writing you this letter
To introduce myself to you
And I hope that when you read it
That you will know me too

So I'm writing you this letter
Though I don't know where to start
I just know I've got to share
This music in my heart
