My Dear Correspondent Lyrics

Will you write me a letter, my dear correspondent

And tell me about all the things that I miss

About your school and your family, wherever your heart is

Whatever you're thinking, what you dream, you wish

Will you write me a letter, pretend that I'm with you

And spell out your soul with the words on the page

May your ink fill my bloodstream, your pages my heartbeat

And say what you would say if I weren't away

Will you write me a letter, a page, or a hundred

A poem, a photo, a scribble, a joke

As if I've been gone for a week or a second

As if you still love me, as if there was hope

Will you write me a letter, my dear correspondent

And tell me about all the things that I miss

If you even remember the time that I reached you

reply at this address, sincerely
