The Love Letter - Carrie Newcomer

When you look real close you can see real good

You can see the imperfections

Now that we know the crooked and the straight

We can love in real completion

It's a danger to love for tomorrow

It's a danger to love for the better

But if it's not there it's just not there

With the things that really matter

Taking it just the way that it is

I'm taking it at face value

Things can look better in the distance

But that not the way I want to love you

I want to love you that close

I want to love you that close

I want to love you that close

I'm taking it just the way that it is

Opinions will fly back and forth

And to disagree can be treason

But you have loved my stronger side

And I have loved the reasons

Takin' it just the way that it is

I'm takin' it at face value

Things can look better in the distance

But that's not the way I want to love you

Takin' it just the way that it is

I've been drinking my coffee from a china cup

I've been feeling holy and better

In a borrowed apartment in Boston

I sat down and wrote you this love letter

Takin' it just the way that it is

I'm takin' it at face value

Things can look better in the distance

But that's not the way I want to love you

Takin' it just the way that it is
