I never saw your face

Never heard you say my name

Just a card passed through a friend

Just a little bit of paper

With your number and your name

But something in the silence

Set a spark into a flame

Still I feel it every time

I read those letters slowly

Like they are almost mine

Somewhere deep in me today

I wonder how you laugh
Am7
I wonder how you move
Cmaj7
If your voice comes out like summer
Bm7
Or carries shades of blue
Em7
You are only ink and letters
Am7
Still you stay with me at night
Cmaj7
Like a door I have not opened
Bm7
With a warm and distant light

Soft enough to pull me through

Like a flower in the spring time

Just coming into view
