A father sits in his study and writes
A small picture beside him
Writing by the candle light
A light so soft and dim
A son fights in the midst of war
And thinks about each night
The love and strength his father sends
In the letters that he writes
Love letters from the father
Please take care my son
Don’t be afraid I’m right beside you
I’m here if you need someone
Please remember what I’ve taught you
When we are apart
These simple words that say “I love you”
Are letters from my heart
A little boy only six years old
His first day of school
He’s afraid to go he wants to stay home
His father hugs him and says “I love you”
He arrives on time and he finds a letter
In the pocket of his jeans
His teacher sits behind her desk
He asks would you please read
The sun goes down on a Friday night
A family gathers round
To hear again the father read
Of love for lost and found
He pulls an old book from the shelf
Turns the light on up above
Starts to read about the Son
And of the Father’s love
Love letters from the Father
You are My loved ones
Don’t be afraid I’m right beside you
I’m here if you need someone
Please remember what I’ve taught you
When we are apart
These simple words that say “I love you”
Are letters from My heart
Please remember what I’ve taught you
When we are apart
These simple words that say “I love you”
Are letters from My heart
