Letters in the Attic
Felt piano keys
Underneath the dust
Finding mother's box
In a trunk of rust
Paper thin and old
Words of long ago
She kept them close to her heart
Letters of a love that didn't stay
She chose this house,
she chose to fade away
A sacrifice that made my life begin
Now I am standing where her dreams have been (oh-oh-oh)
I knocked upon his door
In this tiny town
His grandson answered me
And we sat right down
Piecing together parts
Of the paths they crossed
He held his grandfather's hand And we felt what was lost
Letters of a love that didn't stay
She chose this house,
she chose to fade away
A sacrifice that made my life begin
Now I am standing where her dreams have been (oh-oh-oh)
Two young hearts are meeting here today
Carrying the words they couldn't say
Their old story had to reach an end
So our own could finally begin (mmmmm)
Letters of a love that didn't stay
She chose this house,
she chose to fade away
A sacrifice that made my life begin
Now I am standing where her dreams have been (oh-oh-oh)
Their love didn't fade
It just passed on through time
And now your hand is in mine (in mine)
