THE LETTER- Dovid Gabay- Composed by Yitzy Waldner, Lyrics by Idy Appel- Omar Dovid
Dear Yosef, my friend, it’s been a while.
We were a team, untroubled and free.
Yeshiva days, our youthful ways,
Now but fond old memories.
From time to time they cross my mind, what we were you and me.
Along with your wife you run a stove,
Helping the needy and the poor.
Yet one thing weighs you down, like an anchor below sea.
Will you ever hear the call of “Tatty”?
CHORUS:
Daven for me, and I’ll daven for you.
Oh I know, how I know your pain, I feel it too.
So come take my hand,
Stand beside me and
Hashem would see,
How I care for you, and you care for me.
Daven for me, and I’ll daven for you.
Let’s storm the gates of heaven, we will break through!
Kol HaMispalel Be’ad Chaveiro, yes it’s true.
Will you daven for me? ’cause I’ll daven for you.
Oh Yosef I know, the tears sting so.
So lonely so sad, no place to go.
As the days turn to months, and the months turn into years.
Will there ever be an end to all the fear?
What I’m asking of you is not easy, I know.
To be what we were so long ago.
But with the help of Hashem, we won’t give up our fight.
Let’s turn our darkest day into a beacon of light.
CHORUS:
Daven for me, and I’ll daven for you.
Oh I know, how I know your pain, I feel it too.
So come take my hand,
Stand beside me and
Hashem will see,
How I care for you, and you care for me.
Daven for me, and I’ll daven for you.
Let’s storm the gates of heaven, we will break through!
Kol HaMispalel Be’ad Chaveiro, yes it’s true.
So you daven for me, and I’ll daven for you.
Five years have gone by, our Baruch is three.
Yosef and his wife have their Chana and Tzvi.
All the tears shed from despair, are now pure sounds of joy.
From their sweet little twins, and our beautiful boy.
CHORUS:
You davened for me, and I davened for you.
We stormed the gates of heaven, our Tefillos broke through.
Kol HaMispalel Be’ad Chaveiro, we see it’s true.
You davened for me, and I davened for you.
