Michael W. Smith - The Last Letter lyrics

Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick Sitting alone up in your empty room In the stillness of the night Where all the many dreams that used to carry you Are no longer in sight You put your feelings down in black and white A sad, disturbing reply That you don't really want to face another night So you're saying goodbye But do you know that you're saying goodbye To a lifetime Chorus: Well, i've got to tell you there's another way To be free to be complete But, you've got to make it thru another day And deny your own defeat (don't give in) And i'm here to tell you there's another way To consume a hungry heart All the love you need is just a prayer away Let it in to where you are You've made it to the edge of seventeen Thinking now you've reached the end of the line But there's so much of life that you have never seen Now you won't have the time You say that you don't hear the music play So you're ready to give up the dance Now that nothing really matters anyway Oh, you give up your chance But do you know that you give up your chance At a lifetime Chorus: Well, i've got to tell you there's another way To be free--to be complete But you've got to make it thru another day And deny your own defeat (don't give in) And i'm here to tell you there's another way To consume a hungry heart Jesus is waiting just a prayer away Let him in to where you are You put your feelings down in black and white A sad, disturbing reply That you don't really want to face another night So you're saying goodbye But do you know that you're saying goodbye To a lifetime Chorus
