PS Please

Happy birthday, dear Eliza

I bet the world feels big at 17

I wonder if you'll find the time to

Open all the letters I hope you read

Did you get all of my Christmas cards?

I bet you're beautiful and breaking hearts

I hope the money I left bought you your first car

Well, keep your foot down on the pedal and go far

PS, please, remember me

From your first steps to your anniversaries

Make these letters your memories

Moments of what could never be

PS, please, remember me

Happy new year, dear Eliza

I bet you're living hard and fast at 23

I hope you set aside the time to

Watch the fireworks light up the street

You'll find beauty in the strangest place

So don't turn any opportunity away

And if you fall, you fall, you'll learn from your mistakes

There's a blessing in each scar and every break

PS, please, remember me

From your first steps to your anniversaries

Make these letters all your memories

Moments of what could never be

PS, please, remember me

For every word we never get to speak

There are footprints next to yours you'll never see

They are silent but you know they'll never leave

Never leave, they'll never leave

PS, please, remember me

From your first steps to your anniversaries

Make these letters your memories

Words that we'll never get to speak

Moments that could never be

PS, please, remember me

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh Eliza, remember me
