You've got a piece of my heart
You know it keeps us close no matter how far apart we are
Still I feel like I gotta compensate
Try to abbreviate the space
Hold you with my words instead of an embrace
Sending love letters down the river
Won't you write back, write back, write back soon
Sending love letters down the river
Won't you write back, write back, write back soon
Message in a bottle, let me know when you got it
And then write back, write back, write back soon
Sending love letters down the river
To make up for the time I spend away from you
Ooooh
Away from you
Ooooh
You know if I had the choice I'd
Be right there by your side, tonight
But oh if you're feeling lonely
Look up to the stars and know
I'm always wishing on them for you
Sending love letters down the river
Won't you write back, write back, write back soon
Sending love letters down the river
Won't you write back, write back, write back soon
Message in a bottle, let me know when you got it
And then write back, write back, write back soon
Sending love letters down the river
To make up for the time I spend away from you
Ooooh
Away from you
Ooooh
Message in a bottle, let me know if you got it
I'm sending love letters down the river
Won't you write back, write back, write back soon
