A friend of mine She is sweet and fine And has always been that proper girl She got an invitation to a barbecue She decided to say yes and went off The dance was on It didn't take too long She met a guy who gave her butterflies She couldn't say a word although she wanted to She had to write it down and give it to him Boy I love you more than I can say I'm writing you a letter I'm telling you this way Boy I wish you all the best I can Posted in a letter I'm telling you this way A week has passed She's aware at last That she has to make it on her own And with a hand that shakes and with a heart that aches She tries to reach him on the telephone She heard his voice And now she have a choice Just to give him all the love she has She couldn't say a word although she wanted to She had to write it down and give it to him Boy I love you more than I can say I'm writing you a letter I'm telling you this way Boy I wish you all the best I can Posted in a letter I'm telling you this way Boy I love you more than I can say I'm writing you a letter I'm telling you this way Boy I wish you all the best I can Posted in a letter I'm telling you this way
