Letter (Reprise) Lyrics > Billy Elliot

Teacher: *spoken* What's this?

Billy: *spoken* It's a letter

Teacher: *spoken* Huh. I can see it's a letter!

Billy: *spoken* Can open it if you want.

Teacher: *spoken, with sarcasasm* Thank god for that - the suspence was killin' me.

Billy: *spoken* It's from me mam.

*Pause*

Teacher: *spoken* Y' mam?

Billy: *spoken* She wrote it for us when I was eighteen *pause* 'Cept I couldn't wait.

Teacher: *spoken* I see.

Billy: *spoken* Y' can read it if y' want. *pause* Read it out.

Teacher: *spoken, reading from the letter* Dear Billy,
I must seem a distant memory

Billy: *spoken, from memory* Which is...

Teacher: *spoken* Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long...

Billy: *spoken* A long time

Billy: *sung* And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stamping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy, know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy,

Teacher: *sung* But please Billy. Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything

Teacher and Billy's mother: *sung* And you must promise me this, Billy
In everthing you do
Always be yourself,

Teacher: *sung* Billy

Billy's mother: *sung* And you always will be true
And I will have missed you growing
I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stamping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy, know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy,
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Love you forever

Billy: *spoken*Love you forever

Teacher: *spoken* Mam
