Instead of a Letter

I'm not with you tonight so I thought I would write
But the words they don't scribe and they don't fit on the page
A thousand miles away, all the things I could say
All part of an endless play you couldn't fit on a stage

So instead of a letter, I can say it much better in a song
Instead of a letter, I can sing it much better when I'm gone

Imagine the things I would miss of our imperfect bliss
How the world goes away when we lay down in bed
Yeah, you blow me away but not too far let me stay
In this life we've unraveled with the pull of a thread

So instead of a letter, I can say it much better in a song
Instead of a letter, I can sing it much better when I'm gone

Every sight and every smell
My senses they leave me senseless
I think about it everyday so I
So I don't forget this
A day without you isn't worth a thing
No, its cent-less
I dream about you every night so I
So I don't forget this

I'm not with you today
But I know I'll be okay
I know soon I can say that I love you
Face to face
