A Letter To You (Album Version)

A Letter To You - Shakin' Stevens
I tore my letter up

I couldn't even start

To tell you what's really in my heart.

There's only so much that words can say

So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.

Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring
Made a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you.

Took a song from the lark

the moon from the dark
A spark with the sparkling clew.

With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love

I sent 'em off in a letter to you.

I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees

And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze

I folded 'em up sealed 'em with a kiss

It's the kind of letter that you can't resist.

Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow

And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring
Made a sweet clover ring

And sent it off in a letter to you.

Took a song from the lark
the moon from the dark

A spark with the sparkling clew.

With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.

In a day or two just you wait and see

You're gonna get a special delivery.

You'll know the way I feel
There can't be any doubt
When you open it up
And let the love spill out.
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you.

Took some flowers in the spring
Made a sweet clover ring

And sent it off in a letter to you.

Took a song from the lark
the moon from the dark
A spark with the sparkling clew.

With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love

I sent 'em off in a letter to you.

You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you.

You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you.
