Genre: country, folk, pop


[Verse 1]
G D7
Words put down on paper just don't seem to say
G
all the things I'm tryin' to say to you.
G7 C
Why is it when I'm writing, the meaning slips away,
D7 G
and the lines just don't say what I want them to?

[Chorus]
N.C. G D7
'Cause I tore through letter after letter, 'til the basket overflowed;
G
just can't seem to find a simple way
G7 C
to tell you that I need you, want you, and miss you,
D7 G
and wish that you were here with me today.

[Verse 2]
G D7
So I'll just say I love you with all my lonely heart,
G
and wish today that I could be with you.
G7 C
So until we're together I'll think of you each day,
D7 G
and save all my lovin' just for you.

[Chorus]
N.C. G D7
'Cause I tore through letter after letter, 'til the basket overflowed;
G
just can't seem to find a simple way
G7 C
to tell you that I need you, want you, and miss you,
D7 G
and wish that you were here with me today.
D7 G
And wish that you were here with me today.
