I didn't notice that the envelope was from Mexico
I didn't acknowledge that all I wanted was sleep
After a long days work, a longer subway ride home
All I saw was your name at the top left corner of the paper in my hand

The Yearbook lists showed all the best and we were stars on stage
And though I'll never remember a line I still see your face
Shining through Campus Halls, walking through the greenery
That's a face I like to see

And dear, sweet Rachel I can never get a handle
On my feelings when I want to
When I tell you this 'cause you know
You put it all in writing
That's a little bit frightening

And maybe the dream we had, well, it should have come true
I was standing on the football field in my leather coat
Swung you around, woah, 'til you thought you could fly
Maybe that was a dream meant to pass us by

And dear, sweet Rachel I can never get a handle
On my feelings when I want to
When I tell you this 'cause you know
You put it all in writing
That's a little bit frightening

Funny how it seems you're never far away
Funny how it seems the closer I get to the edge of my rope
Well, the bigger the net for my fall
Oh, to keep our spirits up, drink from my loving cup

And dear, sweet Rachel you can never get a handle
On your feelings when you want to
And I tell you this 'cause I know
It's the song I'm singing
It's a gift I bring to you
Funny how it seems you're never far away...
