Letters to Emily

The second hand counts out my thoughts of you
And every heartbeat says your name
But you don't know me and the way I feel
But still the truth remains - my blood runs through your veins

How can I hold you close when you're so far away?
How long will we still be apart?
How will you ever hear these words I want to say?
How will you ever know my heart?
How will you ever know my heart?

I'm writing letters to you every day, then I mail them to myself
And here, inside a box, they wait for you
And every day is postmarked
I'vе held you here in my hеart

How can I hold you close when you're so far away?
How long will we still be apart?
How will you ever hear these words I want to say?
How will you ever know my heart?
How will you ever know my heart?
How will you know my...know my heart?

Down in the ashes of mistakes and dreams
I see the outline of a heart
Well, I've gone wrong, but still I know
Sometimes God serves the best wine up right from a paper cup

How can I hold you close when you're so far away?
How long will we still be apart?
Someday I know you'll hear these words I want to say
Someday you're gonna know my heart
Someday you're gonna know my heart
Someday you'll know my heart
