Letters To Emily Lyrics & Chords By Julie Miller

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
And 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 heart
SOLO
Looking at the ashes of mistakes I've made
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 your gonna know my heart
Someday you'll know my heart
