“Love Letter”
by Chris Mac Vittie 2002/BMI/MacVitties

Looking for words for a letter to write, looking up, down, to the left and the right
Got my dictionary just in case I need a little help in the spelling department.
Takes a little time to get into the flow, Pen to the paper and away we go,
I got the ink sliding and a lot riding on the empty space below.

I’ve got punctuation, like the exclamation, to tell you all about my situation.
But there nothing here for the pain in my heart, we’re so far apart.
I need a comma to add to the drama, I’ll list all the ways that I’ll love you if you wanna - Read em slow by candlelight, just thinking about it makes it hard to write.

Oh, no “How’s The Weather” here, got to get down to it.
I wanna tell you how I feel, I wanna say,

No voice on the telephone line could ever express this kind of emotion
I may be wasting my time. Until I can make you understand.
Here’s a love a letter, to hold in your hand.

Time to start new paragraph, wish I could think of something that would make you laugh.
But I’m no Shakespeare, I’m no Blake, I’m just a man with a heart that aches.

To find a way to fit my elation in between these little quotations
I speak the words, I like the way they sound but they look so funny when I write them down.

No adjectives, I’ve ever heard, no conjugation of any verb
– is ever gonna tell you the way I feel about you.
No metaphors, no similes, no nouns or words of imagery, could capture, this feeling of a love so true.

Now the sun is setting as the room get’s dark, So here’s where I’ll put the quotation mark.
I say “I love you simple, I love you sweet, just wanna kiss you from your head to your feet.
I’ll try to please you anyway I can – if you’ll be my woman, I will be your man.”

End point, I put the period down – read this to me when you come around.

No voice on the telephone line - could ever express this kind of emotion
I may be wasting my time. No voice on the telephone line - could ever express this kind of emotion
I may be wasting my time.

Until I can make you understand.
Here’s a love letter, to hold in you hand
Here’s a love letter to hold in you hand
Here’s a love letter, to hold in you hand
