Letters to Emily Lyrics

Intro:
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've held you here in my heart.
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 he------------art. he------------art.
Down in the ashes of mistakes and dreams, I see the outline of a he--------art,
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?
How will you ever 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 he-----art
