Lyrics
Letters Tell
It?s the first week of classes,
The fall air is feeling cool,
Will her heart be returning, or am I just a fool?
Letters tell, of a love so strong,
I?d like so much to carry on,
Walking quickly to her new address, my heart is pounding,
Will she care less?
It?s the first week of classes,
As she comes down to the door,
Will her look be excitement, or will this just be a chore?
Letters tell, of a love so strong,
I?d like so much to carry on,
Are we thinking of the same few lines,
Deep inside of both our minds?
All this summer, could not find,
A moment without you in mind,
Cannot wait to hold you near, hold you near, hold you near.
It?s the first week of classes,
As she opens up the door,
Just one look tells the story, we?re each other?s ever more,
Letters tell, of a love so strong,
I?d like so much to carry on,
Arms around her in the dark hallway,
Will there ever be a better day?
It?s the first week of classes.
