Words By Heart

I was going through the closet, back in my old home

Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on

Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight

Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye

The minute I saw it, I just had to smile

It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child

I took a deep breath, and put it away

There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say

I know the words by heart

I know every line

From this ain't easy

To you'll get along just fine

I know every comma, every question mark

No I don't have to look

I know the words by heart

Scenes like old movies, flash through my head

The homecoming game, the night on my bed

The words that you wrote, still cut me in two

How you said you still cared, but that we were through

Repeat Chorus

Ain't it funny how a memory

Can play tricks on your mind

I don't remember a thing from my classes

But I can quote you every line

I took off my jacket, and put it away

With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day

Poured me a beer, then pictured your face

And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase

Repeat Chorus X2
