Love Letters (Larry's Song)
C.Shelton 2009

I don’t write love letters anymore
There’s nothing new left in my repertoire
And you might keep them and trot them out
later when expounding on my many flaws

I don’t declare my love outloud
I’m sorry but it’s true
The statement is too
set in cement and
anything you say can be used against you

Chorus:
I’ve been there and
I’ve done that and
nothing lasts forever
sail boats, like love, are romantic only in fair weather

Pet names are too embarrassing
And really what do they do
My esteem for you is not enhanced by
calling you my little Bunny Foo Foo

Life is serious and dignified
Don’t jeopardize my precious pride
I feel something for you deep inside
Just know it’s there and be satisfied, because

CHORUS

Love Letters
