Melvin Loreg A Package of Old Letters! Lyrics:
A Package of Old Letters
Written by Melvin Loreg

There was a package of old letters
In that little rosewood casket
Written by a dear old lady lying sick in bed

And none of them had ever been read
Sister Martha, won't you read them tonight?
None of us will ever know if we'll see the morning light

[Chorus:]
This package of old letters needs to see the light of day
This package of old letters needs to be opened today

We can almost hear her say
Through the letters in the rosewood casket
Those stories were all my wishes and dreams

They were worth more than anything I owned
They tell of a working woman's tears
Of a poor family’s cares and needs – a hope that is pure and free

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Though her time here with us is gone
Her package of old letters will still live on

[Repeat Chorus:]

Tag
I can almost hear her say, “remember that package of old letters...”
