Nat Stuckey - Letter To Shirley Lyrics

Oh Shirley I love you you must believe I do

Cause Shirley I need to have and hold the both of you



Well Shirley I'm writing this in a hotel downtown I'm sure you remember the place

See I came back in the town to see our new baby today

And you slammed the door at my face

Now Shirley I know you've got every right to despise every breath that I take

But I'm praying there's still enough love in your heart

To forgive me that one big mistake

Cause Shirley Shirley I love you...



You know I have to admit that when I first heard the news

That my first thought was I had to run

You see Shirley I was too far along on my way to success

To be chained to a wife and a son

So I kept my name and you have to blame and you port with head held high

But I guess now all the while you were wearing a smile

You wanted to break down and cry

Shirley I love you...



I just jumped on that train and it took me away

And I well I thought I left the trouble behind

But I found out in a while with each passing mile what I really had left was my mind

So I'm back here to stay with you to have me or not

It's all up to you Shirley in your heart

All the heartaches you've had everything that's gone bad

I'll have to live with if we stay apart

Cause Shirley I love you...
