A Letter from Joey Lyrics by Sheena Easton

You Could Have Been with Me

1981

[Verse 1]
This mornin' Joey had me wonderin' why
He made love like he was sayin' goodbye
Tonight I found out what was goin' on
Waitin' there for me when I came home (I came home)
[Chorus]
It was a letter from Joey
He left it on the door, he don't live here anymore
I got a letter from Joey
He said it's over and out, got to live without Joey
[Verse 2]
Joey had a kind of innocence
What he's doin' now it don't make sense
He always said I was the only one
Now I can't even tell ya where he's gone (where he's gone)
[Chorus]
It was a letter from Joey
He left it on the door, he don't live here anymore
I got a letter from Joey
He said it's over and out, there can be no doubt, got to live without Joey
[Bridge]
Breakin' my heart
Why is he breakin' my heart, why is he
I try to sleep, but I wake up cryin'
I wanna live, but I feel like dyin', Joey
[Verse 3]
Joey was the one who made it right
Like no other lover in my life
What is done can never be undone
Now my loneliness has just begun (just begun)
[Chorus]
It was a letter from Joey
He left it on the door, he don't live here anymore
I got a letter from Joey
He said it's all burned out, there can be no doubt, got to live without Joey
[Outro]
Joey was the one who made it right
What is done can never be undone
