Letters

Quando eu era jovem, minha avó morava a duas horasWhen I was young, my grandma lived two hours away
Quando aprendi a escrever, tinha muito a dizerWhen I first learned to write, I had a lot to say
Eu escrevia uma carta toda semana, ela mal podia esperar para recebê-lasI wrote her a letter every week, she couldn't wait to get them
Ela mal podia esperar para verShe couldn't wait to see

O que eu estava fazendo e tudo sobre meus amigosWhat I was doing, and all about my friends
O que eu estava sonhando, lugares que eu tinha idoWhat I was dreaming, places I had been
O que eu esperava ser um diaWhat I was hoping that I could be someday
Eu escrevi nas minhas cartasI wrote it in my letters
E as enviei todasAnd I mailed them all away

Ela sempre me respondiaShe always wrote me back
Toda semanaEvery single week
E como eu adorava receber as cartas dela desde que aprendi a lerAnd how I loved to get her letters from the time I could read
Anos depois, eu estava mexendo nas coisas delaYears later I was going through her things
E encontrei todas as cartas que ela guardou de mimAnd I found all the letters she had saved from me
Quando ela foi para o céu, eu chorei tantas lágrimasWhen she went to Heaven I cried so many tears
Mas ela está aqui nessas cartas, depois de todos esses anosBut she's here in these letters after all these years

O que ela estava fazendo e tudo sobre os amigos delaWhat she was doing and all about her friends
O que ela estava sonhando, lugares que ela tinha idoWhat she was dreaming, places she had been
O que ela esperava, e coisas que ela gostaria de verWhat she was hoping, and things she'd like to see
Ela escreveu nas cartas dela, e me enviou.She wrote it in her letters, and she mailed it off to me
