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
