By the Time You Read This Letter

[Verse 1]
By the time you read this letter
I'll be so far, so far away
But the love in my heart
Will be with you every day

[Verse 2]
By the time you read this letter
You'll know the reason why I had to go
But no matter where I may be
Oh darling, I still love you so

[Bridge]
My dearest darling, they don't realize
You're the only boy I'll ever love
They say you're bad for me
And so they've taken me away
I know how you must feel now, but have faith
For nothing, nothing can ever keep us apart
I don't know where they're taking me
Or how long I'll be gone
But I do know that somehow
We'll find a way to be together again
Then my darling, nothing
Nothing in the world will ever separate us again
For we belong together

[Verse 3]
By the time you read this letter
I'll be so far, so far away
But I know we'll be together
Again, oh darling, again, oh darling, again
