Lyrics
I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
Hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
Press my lips against her name
Two hundred words, we live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain
Love letter, love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her
A wicked wind whips up the hill
A handful of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way
Love letter, love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her
Rain your kisses down upon me
Rain your kisses down in storms
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in the rain
With a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind
Come back to me
Come back to me
Oh baby, please come back to me
