Letter (Reprise) lyrics
Letter (Reprise)
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
