Writing letters in my sleep Promises I can't keep Too tired to weep Writing letters in my sleep
The words were beautifully formed Least that's what I thought at 3am Some times they go on and on Some times I think they'll never end I go into la la land But forget to count the sheep Others I keep them brief To the point, short and sweet
CHORUS
My Dear friend John I know it's been way too long I keep meaning to call But I feel as though I'll say something wrong The last time we caught up I felt so incomplete But I don't want to turn up the heat 'cause we're moving to a different beat
CHORUS
Now they're lost somewhere Amongst the sheets of my bed And as I sit with a pen and a paper I wonder what I'd say now instead
