Letter Songtext / Lyric

Oh yeah

Little boy wishes he wasn't small


He'd give his turtle to be six feet tall


He's got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall


And he'd try a jump shot but he's afraid he'll fall down



Little girl wants to fall in love


Dressed like her mother in white evening gloves


She pretends, tells her friends she's got somewhere to go


They don't ask where so, they'll never know how she feels



With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry


Let the moment last, there's no need to worry

We should be living for today or for tomorrow anyway


And don't ask for the world on a plate
'Cause you just might get it






And don't ever say it's too late


You know you'll regret it because just when you're sure


Your life can change right before your eyes

A mother's thinking of her little boy


Left home at sixteen back in '84


He's got a dog named Lucy, says she's all that he needs


Lucy knows better, she hears all his dreams

When you search yourself, when you get down to it


If you know yourself, you know you'll get through it

So start living for today or tomorrow anyway


And don't ask for the world on a plate


'Cause you just might get it



And don't ever say it's too late


You know you'll regret it now just when you're sure


Your life can change right before your eyes, before your eyes



With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry


Don't grow too fast there's no need to worry

Start living for today or tomorrow anyway


And don't ask for the world on a plate


'Cause you just might get it

Don't you ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it


Yeah, don't try to turn the hands of fate, if it rains, you got to let it


And don't ever say it's too late 'cause you know you'll regret it now

Just when you're sure
Your life can change right before your eyes


Right before your eyes
