about

Nostalgic messages meant for the one that got away, but who will never see them. Realizing late in life that a promise never made is a promise always kept.

lyrics

LOST LOVE LETTERS

he was rootin’ around in that old root cellar
looking for a bag of mail
trying to find some lost love letters crumbs left along a trail
lined paper torn from a bound notebook written in ball point pen
from me to you…words so true or was he just imaginin’

CHORUS: no it’s not the one you haven’t met
only the one that you can’t forget
memories may fade
but a promise never made
is a promise always kept

can’t go back …can’t move on no matter which way he chose
like a fragile moth to a fiery flame he was drawn to get too close

CHORUS: no it’s not the one you haven’t met
only the one that you can’t forget
memories may fade
but a promise never made
is a promise always kept

BRIDGE: he said i love you so many times
or was it only in his wayward mind
reading in between the lines
he’s still searching for a sign

maybe in the one to Paris stamped but never sent
pages that elude him now of a love that came and went

CHORUS: no it’s not the one you haven’t met
only the one that you can’t forget
memories may fade
but a promise never made
is a promise always kept

mike ward Detroit, Michigan

Lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. Those are what singer-songwriter Mike Ward loves to create. Living in Detroit, Mike grew up listening to Irish music. Influences are Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen and John Prine. His writing echoes along empty sidewalks, on country backroads, in family portraits, and in the thin lines between joy and tragedy, love and loss, past, present and future. ... more
