Letter To Shirley Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

Oh Shirley I love you you must believe I do 

Cause Shirley I need to have and hold the both of you 

Well Shirley I'm writing this in a hotel downtown I'm sure you remember the place 

See I came back in the town to see our new baby today 

And you slammed the door at my face 

Now Shirley I know you've got every right to despise every breath that I take 

But I'm praying there's still enough love in your heart 

To forgive me that one big mistake 

Cause Shirley Shirley I love you... 

You know I have to admit that when I first heard the news 

That my first thought was I had to run 

You see Shirley I was too far along on my way to success 

To be chained to a wife and a son 

So I kept my name and you have to blame and you port with head held high 

But I guess now all the while you were wearing a smile 

You wanted to break down and cry 

Shirley I love you... 

I just jumped on that train and it took me away 

And I well I thought I left the trouble behind 

But I found out in a while with each passing mile what I really had left was my mind 

So I'm back here to stay with you to have me or not 

It's all up to you Shirley in your heart 

All the heartaches you've had everything that's gone bad 

I'll have to live with if we stay apart 

Cause Shirley I love you...
