MICHAEL W. SMITH - The Last Letter lyrics

rate me

Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick

Sitting alone up in your empty room

In the stillness of the night

Where all the many dreams that used to carry you

Are no longer in sight

You put your feelings down in black and white

A sad, disturbing reply

That you don't really want to face another night

So you're saying goodbye

But do you know that you're saying goodbye

To a lifetime

Chorus:

Well, I've got to tell you there's another way

To be free to be complete

But, you've got to make it thru another day

And deny your own defeat (don't give in)

And I'm here to tell you there's another way

To consume a hungry heart

All the love you need is just a prayer away

Let it in to where you are

You've made it to the edge of seventeen

Thinking now you've reached the end of the line

But there's so much of life that you have never seen

Now you won't have the time

You say that you don't hear the music play

so you're ready to give up the dance

Now that nothing really matters anyway

Oh, you give up your chance

But do you know that you give up your chance

At a lifetime

Chorus:

Well, I've got to tell you there's another way

To be free--to be complete

But you've got to make it thru another day

And deny your own defeat (don't give in)

And I'm here to tell you there's another way

To consume a hungry heart

Jesus is waiting just a prayer away

Let him in to where you are

You put your feelings down in black and white

A sad, disturbing reply

That you don't really want to face another night

So you're saying goodbye

But do you know that you're saying goodbye

To a lifetime

Chorus
