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.

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

Oh, no Hows 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.
Heres 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 Im no Shakespeare, Im no Blake, Im 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, Ive 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 gets dark, So heres where Ill put the quotation mark.
I say I love you simple, I love you sweet, just wanna kiss you from your head to your feet.
Ill try to please you anyway I can if youll 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.
Heres a love letter, to hold in you hand
Heres a love letter to hold in you hand
Heres a love letter, to hold in you hand
