Bill Mallonee – Long Letter lyrics

You were like a fairy tale
Come to life in front of me
You saw things on the inside
Baby, I could never see

So I took a trip inside you
Across your beautiful terrain
Every scene was a happy dream
You told me that yours were just the same

So I wrote you a long letter
Filled it up with love from start to end
You have always deserved so much better
So that's a letter I will never send

Can we spend all our lives together?
A simple melody is all I'll bring
You're the only one for this singer
I will love you 'til the very end

Somewhere between loneliness and conscience
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I bought into some lies
I will never know why I traded off a little part of me

Still, there are places I'll remember
Just like the sun, they'll always shine
Nowhere can compare to the sunlight in your hair
Or the stars I see right there behind your eyes

Can we spend all our lives together?
A simple melody is all I'll bring
You're the only song for this singer
I will love you 'til the very end

My curve ball won't break around your neck
All my fastest pitches disappear into the upper deck
Announcers shake their heads from radio towers
You're with me on the long walk to the showers

These losses take their toll on your believing
Your faith in something trickles down to none
Let it be the last inning in my losing season
Maybe the springtime's finally come
