I've been writing letters every day now Since you've been gone Talking to you by telephone For what seems like a whole life long But I've got something to give you That the mailman can't deliver I can't mail it in I can't phone it in I can't send it in Even by your closest kin The thing that I'm speaking of Is a whole lot of love A whole mess of love I'm bringing it to you personally I'm bringing it to you personally I need your love, I want your love I need your love, I want your love I'm bring it to you personally
