When Johnny got the letter It had no return address, But he recognized the writing And he didn't have to guess.
The postmark said Seattle Just a thousand miles away, So he put it in the drawer For fourteen days
Every night he'd take that envelope And hold it up to the light, But he never tore it open To see what lay inside.
He remembered how it hurt The night she turned and walked away, So he kept the letter sealed For fourteen days.
Fourteen days it lay unopened, Fourteen days it stayed unread, Fourteen nights he dreamed about her In what used to be their bed.
Though his heart and soul were achin' Johnny's pride got in the way, So he kept the letter sealed For fourteen days.
And then one night he couldn't stand it Johnny took it from the drawer, He read the words she'd sent to him Just two short weeks before.
The tears fell hard as Johnny read The words she had to say, "Boy I'm coming home to you In fourteen days".
"Dear John: I know I hurt you But I pray that you'll forgive. And if you don't take me back again, Then, I don't want to live. If you're there when I step off the plane, Then I'll be yours, always. I arrive at four p.m. in fourteen days."
Johnny raced out to the airport On the chance that she might wait, But the terminal was empty And he knew he was too late.
He cursed himself for letting Hs one true love slip away, For a letter that he held For fourteen days.
Fourteen days it lay unopened Fourteen days it stayed unread, Fourteen nights he dreamed about her And the good times that they had.
And Johnny knew he lost her And there was nothing left to say, He tore up the note he'd held For fourteen days.
Now the next day in Seattle The morning headline read, "Another Jane Doe Suicide- Young Girl Lying Dead." Scrawled upon the crumpled piece of paper where she lay, "I'm coming home to you in fourteen days."Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
