lyrics
Hey you; I write again to let you know,
That things are normal back at home,
Dad’s getting better and, well, me, I can stand to be alone,
Through fevered dreams I reach for you,
In fear of what you’re going through,
Confronting more than I can tell,
You feel beyond the world as well,
Forsaking all and one day to,
Come back to me so I can live again,
Or now and then recall that,
All that I can think to send are love and paper kisses,
As all that I have got to send are love and paper kisses.
Forgive me please, I do not mean to so articulate my fears,
Your waiting stalwart draws some comfort from the times when you are near,
The worst is what I cannot to know,
When waking silence overflows,
It cannot be a love so strong,
Will turn out hopeless all along,
For now I hope and pray that you’ll
Come back safe so we can live again,
But until then please know that,
All that I can think to send are love and paper kisses,
As all that I have got to send are love and paper kisses.
Learning to sing the blues, I am
For you and me and there and here and everything that really matters
…once again to say goodbye…
In time once called from the lightning,
Down you came to aid a wounded, broken land,
Tears of pride shine in my eyes as you brave conflict in the sands,
Your courage dwarfs my paltry store,
And I know others need you more,
I’ll bring you luck while we’re apart,
Just keep my picture near your heart.
In time it will be over
So for now and ‘til we meet again,
These words I’ve penned will show that,
All that I can think to send are love and paper kisses,
As all that I have got to send are love and paper kisses.
