以下是《A Letter to Elise》的歌詞:
I'm writing this letter to you
With no real expectation
That you'll ever read these words
But I hope that you will
And if you don't, well that's alright
I'll just have to start again
And write another letter
To someone I've never met
My name is John and I'm writing
To someone I've never met
And I hope that you're well
And I hope that you're happy
I'm writing this letter to you
With a heart full of anticipation
And I hope that you're somewhere
And I hope that you're smiling
And if you are, well then I know
That everything will be alright
And if you're not, then I hope
That you will be soon
My name is John and I'm writing
To someone I've never met
But now, with every word,
I feel as though I'm getting closer
And when I close my eyes, I see your face
I hear your voice, I feel your touch
And I hope that you're okay
And I hope that you're okay soon
So, my dear Elise, my dear friend
I hope that these words find you well
And if they don't, then I'll start again
And write another letter to you.
