The Letter lyrics

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

What's this?

[Spoken BILLY]

It's a letter

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

I can see it's a letter

[Spoken BILLY]

You can open it if you want

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

Thank God for that, the suspense was killing me

[Spoken BILLY]

It's from me mum

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

Your mum?

[Spoken BILLY]

She wrote it for us when I was eighteen, but since I couldn't wait

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

I see

[Spoken BILLY]

You can read it if you want

Read it out

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

Dear Billy

I must seem a distant memory

[Spoken BILLY]

Which is...

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

Which is probably a good thing

And it will have been a long-

[Spoken BILLY]

Long time

[BILLY]

And I will have missed you growing

And I'll have missed you crying

And I'll have missed you laugh

Missed your stomping and your shouting

I have missed telling you off

But please, Billy

Know that I was always there

I was with you through everything

And please, Billy...

[MRS. WILKINSON]

But please, Billy

Know that I will always be

Proud to have known you

Proud that you were mine

Proud in everything

And you must promise me this, Billy

[BILLY'S MUM]

In everything you do

Always be yourself, Billy

And you always will be true

And I will have missed you growing

And I'll have missed you crying

And I'll have missed you laugh

[MUM & MRS. WILKINSON]

Missed your stomping and your shouting

I have missed telling you off

But please, Billy

Know that I was always there

I was with you through everything

And please, Billy

Know that I will always be

Proud to have known you

[MUM]

Love you forever

[BILLY]

Love you forever

[MRS. WILKINSON]

Mam
