[00:17.56]The girl writes on the last page
[00:20.85]And the pencil is nearly dry
[00:24.54]There can't be no mistakes
[00:26.72]'Cause these words will be final
[00:28.78]He's been waiting for a letter for days
[00:33.49]The inspiration is gone,
[00:36.74]the wind flew away
[00:41.67]All the trees that once were green
[00:45.01]Are all ready for bed
[00:51.23]All the greats symphonies,
[00:55.01]all the great poems and books
[00:59.13]They've been sung, they've been said,
[01:01.97] they've been written
[01:03.17]And they have been read
[01:06.83]Close you eyes fold your hands I can see you are tired
[01:10.89]Let him wait just another day more
[01:15.23]He won't die, he won't cry still the night may be sad
[01:19.20]But it's better with nothing than bad
[01:26.26]The sun flirts with the ocean
[01:29.91]And soon a whole new day will rise
[01:33.89]Smile to the paper, lay down your hand
[01:37.60]I am sure he will understand
[01:42.41]Lick the envelope, put a stamp on the corner
[01:49.46]And I promise you that it won't be long
[01:53.70]Before the letter is finally there
[02:48.35][01:59.79]All the greats symphonies,
[02:51.60][02:03.54]all the great poems and books
[02:54.97][02:07.69]They've been sung, they've been said,
[02:58.64][02:10.45]they've been written
[02:59.81][02:11.77]And they have been read
[03:03.77][02:15.32]Close you eyes fold your hands I can see you are tired
[03:07.88][02:19.54]Let him wait just another day more
[03:12.06][02:23.59]He won't die,
[03:12.76][02:24.50]he won't cry still the night may be sad
[03:15.87][02:27.55]But it's better with nothing than bad...
[03:22.84]better with nothing than bad...
