Love Letters

[Verse 1] In every midnight melody, I hummed real soft and low In every line I whispered, where no one else could go In every worn-out prayer, I raised to God above In every song I sing now, it's just for you, my love I wrote you in the silence, I wrote you in the dark In every trembling chorus and every aching spark The whole world hears the music and thinks it’s just a song But behind each word, you're the reason, and together,  we belong [Chorus] These are my love letters Pressed in melody and rhyme Every line is a little piece of yours and mine These are my love letters Wrapped in love, or wrapped in flame Everybody hears the blues… But you're gonna know your name [Verse 2] There’s one for all the waiting and the nights that took too long One for every memory I couldn’t leave alone One for all the words we never dared to say out loud One for wanting you and still getting lost somehow I stitched you in the verses like secrets sewn in thread Tucked between the heartache and the things I never said They can spin this record till the needle fades away But only you will hear the truth beneath what I still play [Chorus] These are my love letters Pressed in melody and rhyme Every page a little piece of yours and mine These are my love letters Wrapped in love, or wrapped in flame Everybody hears the blues… but you’re gonna  know your name [Bridge] And if the world should ask me who these songs were written for I’ll smile and let the answer drift right through the open back door But if you listen close when the night gets still and warm You’ll hear my whole heart reaching right through every chord [Final Chorus] These are my love letters Every soul-bared line I sing Every trembling truth that I could never quite bring These are my love letters Sent on six strings just the same Everybody hears the blues but you’ll always know they came… …from me [Tag] Every song I ever wrote Every note I held too long You're my heart's composer, They've been yours all along
