Julie Miller - Letters To Emily lyrics

The second hand counts out my thoughts of you, and every heartbeat says your name, But you don't know me and the way I feel, But still the truth remains: my blood runs through your veins. How can I hold you close when you're so far away? How long will we still be apart? How will you ever hear these words I want to say? How will you ever know my heart? How will you ever know my heart? I'm writing letters to you every day, then I mail them to myself, And here, inside a box, they wait for you, and every day is postmarked, I've held you here in my heart. How can I hold you close when you're so far away? How long will we still be apart? How will you ever hear these words I want to say? How will you ever know my heart? How will you ever know my heart? How will you know my...know my heart? Down in the ashes of mistakes and dreams I see the outline of a heart, Well, I've gone wrong, but still I know sometimes God serves the best wine up right from a paper cup. How can I hold you close when you're so far away? How long will we still be apart? Someday I know you'll hear these words I want to say, Someday you're gonna know my heart, Someday you're gonna know my heart, Someday you'll know my heart.
