I never thought you were the letter writing type
   so now I see the words you chose the way you write
   so I started to write back about the trees in the snow
   and I saw a bird, couldn't see what it was but I thought you'd know
   you always surprised me
  
   Chorus:
   And if I wrote You
   If I wrote You
   You wouldknow me
   and you would not write me again
  
   Verse:
   And when the spring came and flooded all the streams
   It's like how you got the night you told me all you dreams
   And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout
   It's like how you got when you knew the truth was the only way out
   but not the only way
  
   Chorus:
   And if I wrote you
   If I wrote you
   You wouldknow me
   and you would not write me again
  
   Verse:
   We drew our arms around the bastard sons
   We never would drink to the chosen ones
   Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned
   But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand
   so I'm steady now
  
   Chorus:
   And I'm so happy
   I had to tell you
   And I love you
   And you will not write me again
   You will not write me again
   You will not write me again
