The Letter Lyrics

I got the word on the street
From people we never liked
They told me that you were sick and they think
You're gonna die
And although i was surprised
I didn't act sorry then
Cause you've led the kind of life
That feels right through the end
How lucky those fools would be
To have friends like you and me


I went to my home and sat
And waited for tears to come
But suddenly i changed my mind
Got up and played my favorite songs
I wanted to show myself
That death could not take my heart
That i'd rather celebrate all the good days that we had
That nothing could stand between
Two good friends like you and me

Didn't sleep that evening
I stayed up till the morning
Thinking how things we take for granted
Can go wrong
Wish you would have told me
Instead of finding out from strangers
I never was ashamed to be your pal

So I'll visit you when I can
And bring you the things you want
And if the day when you leave I'm not around
To say goodbye
Remember to take my love
Remember the laughs we had
And how lucky two fools could be
To be friends like you and me

How lucky two fools could be
To be friends like you and me

How lucky two fools could be
To be friends like you and me

Take care
