I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I 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

    General Comment:the man said some things he didn't ean & now that she's gone, he realizes what he's done and decides to write a love letter

    Love Letter Love letter
    Go get her Go get her
    Love Letter Love letter
    Go tell her Go tell her

    . . . he is sending it and hopes it will do all the talking for him without talking, it will, he hopes . . .ultimately bring her back to him
    he loves her but said some things he shouldn't have said
