The story behind the song

Words by Jack O. Bocchino and Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, music by JPR

I miss the days of writing letters
On paper with a pen
Seal it in an envelope
Lick a stamp and then
Walk it to the mailbox
Raise the flag and when
The mailman brings an answer
Maybe I’ll sit and write again

Write again, my friend
Maybe I’ll sit and write again
When the mailman brings an answer
Maybe I’ll sit and write again

I miss the quiet contemplation
Imagining you there
The wishing and the waiting
The questions in the air
And then the sweet delivery
When I recognize your hand
I read your letter slowly
And it brings you near again

Near again, my friend
It brings you near again
I read your letter slowly
And it brings you near

I miss the time to think it over
And find the words to say
Share with you the yearning
That’s in my heart today
With every line across the paper
I better understand
I feel that you are with me
As I sit and write again

Write again, my friend
As I sit and write again
I feel that you are listening
As I sit and write
