The Letter - Aretha Franklin

I talked to you today

We’ve loved each other for so long

In that special way

And if circumstances should keep us apart

I just want you to know that

You will remain forever here in my heart

Sweet, sweet bitter love

The taste still lingers

Going through my helpless fingers

You slipped away, ooh, yes you did

Sweet, sweet bitter love

What joy you told me

What pain you didn’t mean to

But you brought me

And so sure, baby and so sure to stay

Our magic dreams have lost their spells

And where there, where there was hope

Oh, there’s an, an empty shell

Oh, sweet

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, bitter love

Why have you awaken and then forsaken

A trusting heart like mine?

My magic, my magic dreams

They’ve all, they’ve all, all lost their spells

And where there where I had a little bit of hope

Yes sir, there is, oh look at me now

There is an empty shell

Oh, sweet

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, bitter love

Why have you awakened and then

And then, and then, and then

And then you know, you have forsaken

A trusting heart, yeah like mine?

A trusting heart like mine

I love you boy, yes I do, like mine
