C                               Am
Love letters straight from your heart

F           G7          C
Keep us so near while apart

I'm not alone  in the night

Em7-5      A7            Dm7      G7
When I can have all the love you write


C                 Am
I memorize every line

    F           G7            C      C7
And I kiss the name that you sign

F             Fm
And darling, then

I read again right from the start

Love letters straight from your heart


(Repeat second verse)

Love letters straight from your heart.
