The Letter Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

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
