Lyrics
THE LETTER
Dear Evelyn, Thank God you're alright. I've been worried sick about you since you left the other night.
And as you read these words today, please know I'm on my way.
I don't blame you honey for the ones you hold, or the home you left, or the love you sold.
I don't care what your eyes have seen, you still belong to me
Believe in me, believe its true, believe these words, Evie I'll come for you
Remember that old oak tree by the river side,
we used to climb up in the summer your mother died.
I'd hold you close and we watch the sun melt into the sky
I know about the night you left for the dessert, holding him tight, you thought you were getting free, leaving me.
I don't really care if it's cause you're outta money,
I don't really care about the secrets you've kept from me.....
I ain't a fool Evie.
And, I'm still in love with you.
It's part of who I am, Evelyn.
And some things never change.
Some things just the same.
Believe in me, believe its true, believe these words, Evie I'll come for you
I remember when you left for the dessert, holding him tight, you thought you were getting free, leaving me.
I don't really care if it's cause you're outta money,
I don't really care about the secrets you've kept from me.....
I ain't a fool Evie.
And, I'm still in love with you.
It's part of who I am, Evelyn.
And some things never change.
Some things don't fade away
And some things just stay the same.
