The Package Lyrics

The Package lyrics

(Tim Rushlow)



In '42 they fell in love

Love at first sight

In
'43 they walked the aisle

A groom and his bride

In '44 he went to
war

To fight for Uncle Sam

How it tore his heart apart

He missed
his precious Anne

And when the doorbell rang

You know it scared her
so

They handed her the package

And this is what he
wrote



Here's a little something

To help you get through

I know
it ain't much

But it was all that I could do

My heart is with
you

And you know I love you still

Until I'm holding you again

Love
will



In '63 he was out of town

All flights delayed

20 years of
marriage

All the kids were home that day

He did the best he
could

With the phone lines jammed

How it tore his heart apart

He
missed his precious Anne

And when the doorbell rang

You know it scared
her so

They handed her the package

And this is what he
wrote



Here's a little something

To help you get through

I know
it ain't much

But it was all that I could do

My heart is with
you

And you know I love you still

Until I'm holding you again

Love
will



Just a single long stemmed rose

With his letter tucked
inside

To show her she was in his heart

Forever on his
mind



'93 he was holding on

With all his might

He gave her one
last wink

And then he passed on in the night

Bill knew his time was
short

So he had a little plan

He was saving something special

For
his precious Anne

And when the doorbell rang

Those old familiar
notes

They handed her the package

And this is what he
wrote



Here's a little something

To help you get through

I know
it ain't much

But it was all that I could do

My heart is with
you

And you know I love you still

Until I'm holding you again

Love
will

(Love always will)



Until I'm holding you again

Love
will
