Billy Elliot the Musical - The Letter (Billy's Reply) Lyrics

TEACHER (spoken) What's this?

BILLY (spoken) It's a letter

TEACHER (spoken) Huh. I can see it's a letter!

BILLY (spoken) Can open it if you want.

TEACHER (spoken, with sarcasasm)
Thank god for that - the suspence was killin' me.

BILLY (spoken) It's from me mam.

TEACHER (spoken) Y' mam?

BILLY (spoken) She wrote it for us when I was eighteen.
'Cept I couldn't wait.

TEACHER (spoken) I see.

BILLY (spoken) Y' can read it if y' want.  Read it out.

TEACHER (spoken, reading from the letter) Dear Billy,
I must seem a distant memory

BILLY (spoken, from memory) Which is...

TEACHER (spoken) Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long...

BILLY (spoken) A long time

BILLY (sung)
And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stamping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy, know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy,

TEACHER (sung)
But please Billy. Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything

TEACHER & BILLY'S MOTHER (sung)
And you must promise me this, Billy
In everthing you do
Always be yourself,

TEACHER (sung) Billy

BILLY'S MOTHER (sung)
And you always will be true
And I will have missed you growing
I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stamping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy, know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy,
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Love you forever

BILLY (spoken) Love you forever

TEACHER (spoken) Mam
