The Letter
Choir! Choir! Choir! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are times
You can't help but to cry
And time won't heal
By and by

There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt won't heal
With the years

But, I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you

There are times
When the world is cruel
And I won't be there for you

There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt will heal
With the years

I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you

When storms come our way
When tides wash away
When storms come our way
When tides wash away

I will always love you
Always love you




Love you love you love you love you
Always love you

Overall Meaning

The Letter is a touching and emotional song by the Canadian musical group, Choir! Choir! Choir!. It speaks about the pain of separation and how love endures even in the hardest of times. The first two stanzas acknowledge the fact that sometimes life can be cruel, and one can't help but cry. However, time won't heal the hurt, but love will always be there for you. The singer assures the listener that they will always love them, and no one else but them. The chorus repeats this assurance of love, using powerful and emphatic language.


The third stanza talks about how, during the toughest times, the singer might not be present physically, but their love will always be there. The final part of the song is a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing how love will always be there, no matter what happens.

I tell between 2012 and now, 2019, the venue has gotten HUGE!!

@jackal59

I just heard about you on Weekend Edition (NPR). Great arrangement! Not only do you sound really good, but you sound like you're having fun. I kind of hope that other places pick up on this. If we can have Sing-It-Your performances of The Messiah, then why not Sing-It-Yourself versions of Ziggy Stardust or The Supremes?
