Hughes Donna - Letters lyrics

When I was young, my grandma lived two hours away

When I first learned to write, I had a lot to say

I wrote her a letter every week

She couldn’t wait to get them, she couldn’t wait to see

What I was doing

And all about my friends

What I was dreaming

Places I had been

What I was hoping

That I could be some day

I wrote it in my letters

And I mailed them all away She always wrote me back

Every single week

And how I loved to get her letters

From the time I could read

Years later I was going through her things

And I found all the letters, she had saved from me

When she went to Heaven, I cried so many tears

But she’s here in these letters, after all these years

What she was doing

And all about her friends

What she was dreaming

Places she had been

What she had hoped for

And things she’d like to see

She wrote it in her letters,

And she mailed them off to me
