Love Letters

In this day and age of
Texts, emails and e-love
We've all grown so accustomed to
Instant gratification oh

But there was a time when we
Would sit by so anxiously
Waiting for the school bell to ring
For that letter that a friend would bring

I remember vividly
How fond of writing I used to be
Now I can't hold a candle
To the man I used to be that flawlessly could handle

A perfect word or a phrase
A verse that leaves you in a daze
The way to a young girl's heart
Was the pen and pad that played a part in

Writing love letters
Makes loving you much better
It's a lost art
Writing letters from the heart to the heart

Writing love letters
Exchanging our forevers
It's a lost art
The pen and pad plays a part to the start

To something so beautiful
A love so unmovable
A crush so strong you can't shake it
A dream so good you wouldn't wake up

I would read each letter out loud
Words written on top of a cloud
Touching my soul and skin
Can't wait for the next one to begin

Ink-stained hands, the chosen tool
Praying that they get through to you
That they can express oh
The power of your sweet caress oh

Nothing could take away that time
When all I had to show was a rhyme
Think I'll take up love writing again
The innocence of way back when oh
When I used to write these love letters oh
I used to have your heart

Writing love letters
Makes loving you much better
It's a lost art
Writing letters from the heart to the heart

Writing love letters
Exchanging our forevers
It's a lost art
The pen and pad plays a part to the start

Writing love letters
Makes loving you much better
It's a lost art
Writing letters from the heart to the heart

Writing love letters
Exchanging our forevers
It's a lost art
The pen and pad plays a part to the start

Why did we let it go?
A perfect love so freeing
It seems the more we know
The further we are from this feeling
We should remember when
When time had no meaning
Visit now and then the heart
The space where we believed in

Writing love letters
Makes loving you much better
It's a lost art
Writing letters from the heart to the heart

Writing love letters
Exchanging our forevers
It's a lost art
The pen and pad plays a part to the start

Writing love letters
Makes loving you much better
It's a lost art
Writing letters from the heart to the heart

Writing love letters
Exchanging our forevers
It's a lost art
The pen and pad plays a part to the start
