I'm Gonna Rewrite Every Line

I'm gonna take your goodbye letter,
Rewrite every line.
It'll say the words I need to hear,
And never say goodbye.
It'll sound just like the ones you wrote
Stamped with that heart love sign.
I'm gonna take your goodbye letter,
And rewrite every line.

I'm gonna change the things you said
To things you used to say
Like, "Darlin', how I miss you"
"I love you more each day"
I'll close with hugs and kisses,
And "I hope you're doin' fine"
I'm gonna take your goodbye letter,
And rewrite every line.

I'm gonna take that perfume bottle
That you left on the shelf,
I'm gonna scent and seal that letter,
And mail it to myself.
When the postman brings it back,
I'll pretend that you're still mine.
I'm gonna take your goodbye letter,
And rewrite every line.
