lyrics

Oh I had to move to Philly
And I had to go by train
And I had to pack up my life up
in the January rain

Well I had to leave my family
And I had to leave my friends
And I had to say goodbye
to those I’d never see again

Well I had a wooden dresser
Had to fill it with my clothes
Had to throw away possessions
Things that only I would know

Oh I had to keep believing
Yes I had to hold on hope
That I’d open up my mailbox
and see the letters that you wrote

Well I had to keep pretending
Had to keep up the charade
Had to say it didn’t matter
and let the memory start to fade

But I had a glowing ember
Had to light it from a spark
Had to make sure I remembered
every way you left your mark

So I’m lying here in Philly
Hear the whistle of the train
And I’m thinking bout that evening
in the January rain

So I had to call your number
And I had to say your name
And I had to tell you truly
That I love you, but things won’t ever be the same
