The Letter

Elton John


Dear Billy
I must seem a distant memory
Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long, long time

And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh

Missed your stamping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy, know that I was always there
I was with you through everything

And please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you

Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything
And you must promise me this, Billy

In everthing you do
Always be yourself, Billy
And you always will be true
Love you forever
Love you forever

Mom
