lyrics

When I left town you promised to send your heart with the pages
Day after day those letters would cover the miles between us

It hurts to miss you, though we know the pain is good
If we could have and hold we would

When I read the old letters
Love holds the words together
And makes the story better

Tonight we'll pull this blanket up over our tired shoulders
Night after night this blanket and our love are getting older

Sometimes I hurt you and we love because we should
If we could wait for letters now we would

But when I read the old letters
Love holds the words together
When I read the old letters
Love holds the words together
And makes the story better
