Lyrics

Letters of Love



Just before movin' house we were clearing out things.
I found a box in the attic, a box full of dreams.
Inside was a blue box tied up in a bow.
It contained all our letters from so long ago.

I hadn't read them in many a year.
I never realised he'd kept them, it brought on a tear.
He was just sixteen when he wrote down those lines.
I was just fifteen when I wrote down mine.

Chorus

Our letters of love are letters of truth.
Letters of love we wrote in our youth.
They said we were kids, it won't last for long.
But these letters of love have proven them wrong.
Words captured on paper, we think the world of.
We'll always treasure our letters of love.

As I read those words time just melted away.
I saw all the lovin' things that we'd say.
We don't say 'em now; they are words for the young.
But that doesn't mean all those feelings have gone.

I can't believe how the years have just flown.
I am so happy I made him my own.
Since those letters were written we've been through so much.
Yet we've stayed together for forty years plus.

Chorus

Our letters of love are letters of truth.
Letters of love we wrote in our youth.
They said we were kids, it won't last for long.
But these letters of love have proven them wrong.
Words captured on paper, we think the world of.
We'll always treasure our letters of love.

Yes we'll always treasure our letters of love.
