I promised you a letter, but somewhere along the way it became a song,
and things that I never got said found a place to be heard.
You came so suddenly into my life, you took me by surprise,
but somehow it felt like an expectation fulfilled.
 
I know you're a long ways away but I'm having a hard time trying to find
any other reason not to see how far we can go.
 
When you went away a little part of me stowed away and went with you.
Funny how willingly it went and how I let it go.
What it left wasn't empty, it was more of a little warm spot some where in there;
an abstract vision becoming clearly defined.
 
I find myself remembering conversations I had with you.
Instead of having new ones with someone else I want letters from you.
 
So when the stars shine take a moment to look and pick a bright one from the west,
and chances are that I'm looking up at the same one as you.
And I hope that one day soon I'll be singing this to you and I'll hear your voice again,
but for now I'm always looking forward to letters from you.
For now I'm always looking forward to letters from you.
