The Letter Lyrics & Chords By Original Cast Of Billy Elliot

WILKINSON
Dear Billy
I must seem a distant memory
BILLY
Which is?
WILKINSON
Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long-
BILLY
A long time.
And I will have missed you growing,
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh.
Missed your stomping and your shouting,
I'll have missed telling you off,
But please Billy,
Know that I was always there.
I was with you through everything.
And please, Billy...
WILKINSON
But please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything
And you must promise me this, Billy
BILLY'S MUM
In everything you do
Always be yourself, Billy
And you always will be true
And I'll've missed you growing,
I'll've missed you crying
And I'll've missed you laugh.
BILLY'S MUM AND WILKINSON
Missed your stomping and your shouting,
I'll've missed telling you off,
But please, Billy,
Know that I was always there.
I was with you through everything.
And please, Billy,
Know that I will always be.
Proud to have known you.
BILLY'S MUM
Love you forever.
BILLY
Love you forever.
