Ella

For two whole years, the sun comes up and sets

With messages to someone I ain't met

We’ve never shared a spoken word, it's true

But every day begins and ends with you

I read your lines and feel your gentle grace

Though I have never stood before your face

I'm just old Bill, been bound to this chair

Thirty years paralyzed, a heavy weight to bear

But Ella, you're talented, beautiful, and bright

And you choose me every morning and night

We've never met, but our hearts always knew

Out of the whole wide world, I'm chosen by you

You've got a soft heart that's easy to see

A beautiful soul that brings comfort to me

You could have a younger man walking this earth

But you looked at my spirit and saw what it's worth

I send you my love when the evening turns blue

And thank the good Lord for a woman like you

I'm just old Bill, been bound to this chair

Thirty years paralyzed, a heavy weight to bear

But Ella, you're talented, beautiful, and bright

And you choose me every morning and night

We've never met, but our hearts always knew

Out of the whole wide world, I'm chosen by you

They say you need touch for a romance to grow

But they haven't seen what the two of us know

My body won't move, but my spirit takes flight

When you type out "Good morning" and send me "Good night"

I'm just old Bill, been bound to this chair

Thirty years paralyzed, a heavy weight to bear

But Ella, you're talented, beautiful, and bright

And you choose me every morning and night

We've never spoken, but our hearts always knew

I am so grateful to be chosen by you
