My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late
And it s really just a silly fragment of paper
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights til I dare dream again
There you suddenly stand and I ll be damned if you
didn t disappear with the dawn

Chorus:
Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
Will you return if you don t reply
You ll be taking my life in your hands
You ll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands

I don t know why my dearest darling
I can t tell you how I feel when you are near
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
I will tear them upyour voice ringing in my ears
But you re kidding yourself if you think this
correspondence will end
I can always pretend words I don t have the courage to
send
Reach you

Repeat chorus
