Carrie Newcomer - The Love Letter lyrics

When you look real close you can see real good You can see the imperfections Now that we know the crooked and the straight We can love in real completion It's a danger to love for tomorrow It's a danger to love for the better But if it's not there, it's just not there With the things that really matter Taking it just the way that it is I'm taking it at face value Things can look better in the distance But that not the way I want to love you I want to love you that close I want to love you that close I want to love you that close I'm taking it just the way that it is Opinion's will fly back and forth And to disagree can be treason But you have loved my stronger side And I have loved the reasons Takin' it just the way that it is I'm takin' it at face value Things can look better in the distance But that's not the way I want to love you I've been drinking my coffee from a china cup I've been feeling holy and better In a borrowed apartment in Boston I sat down and wrote you this love letter
