Story behind the song
Based on old letters I saved from my junior high years
Lyrics
Old Love Letters
Written by: Billy Simons
Verse 1
I found a box of letters
Just the other day
Tucked beneath the floorboards
Of my mother's entranceway
Dating back to junior high
When I was just thirteen
And it quickly brought me back again
To that school-aged dating scene
Verse 2
They were filled with memories
From my childhood years
And as I read through each of them
I struggled with the tears
Mary looked so perfect
With her feathered, Farrah hair
As we hopped the fence, down by the river
On our way to the county fair
Chorus
An old love letter never dies
It just bows it's head and rests it's eyes
Patiently waiting for
A chance to be read once more
While patiently waiting to
Reunite with you
Verse 3
Through her words, I could clearly see
Her face, in the mid-day sun
And through her voice, I reminisced
'Bout the innocence and fun
Now I don't recall ever kissing that girl
Or even holding her hand
But the two of us, scrolled our names
Forever, in the sand
Verse 4
There's nothing like a love letter
To unearth, a long, lost affair
Escaping for a moment
Into a world of savior-faire
And there's nothing like a memory
To heal a fractured heart
To put the pieces back together
As they were, right from the start
Bridge
Sometimes I wonder, if Mary saved my letters
Struggling at times, to let them go
Or if she simply tossed them away
So many years ago
I don't suspect, I'll ever really know
Chorus
