Rainbow Chan - The Letter lyrics

[Verse 1] I drove forwards Seemed like hours To deliver the letter And feel empowered [Verse 2] Tomorrow's too late to lift this weight From my shoulders For you are my king But I can't make your heart sing [Chorus 1] It has been so many years Since I held you closer, dear Now that we have cut the thread How softly we must tread [Chorus 2] It has been so many nights Since I looked you in the eye Made my heart grow red as wine But the thread has been untwined [Verse 3] I have finally Undressed you, ooh Saw you for the First time as a boy [Verse 4] And now you go Are you still coping with the blow? Shiver Now I can see Your face only growing dimmer and dimmer [Chorus 1] It has been so many years Since I held you closer, dear Now that we have cut the thread How softly we must tread [Chorus 2] It has been so many nights Since I looked you in the eye Made my heart grow red as wine But the thread has been untwined [Bridge] I gave you the letter but I Should have known better That you would go the same now [Bridge] I gave you the letter but I Should have known better That you would go the same now [Chorus 1] It has been so many years Since I held you closer, dear Now that we have cut the thread How softly we must tread [Counter Chorus 1] I gave you the letter but I Should have known better That you would go the same now [Chorus 3] It has been so many nights Since I looked you in the eye Made my heart grow red as wine But the thread has been untwined now [Counter Chorus 2] I gave you the letter but I Should have known better
