Lyrics
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart.
I’m not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.
I memorize ev’ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.
I memorize ev’ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.
