Introduction

“Send Me a Letter, Amanda” is one of those tracks that feels like a gentle tap on the shoulder from an old friend. From the first soft strum of the guitar to the heartfelt lyrics, it’s a song that speaks directly to the soul. You can almost picture the songwriter, sitting by the window on a rainy afternoon, penning down words that feel like a warm embrace.

The beauty of this song lies in its simplicity and the raw emotion it captures. It’s about longing, hope, and the timeless act of waiting for a letter from someone dear, someone who might be miles away but can bridge that distance with just a few written words. The song taps into that universal feeling of anticipation, the thrill of receiving a handwritten note, and the intimate connection it fosters.

What makes “Send Me a Letter, Amanda” special isn’t just its lyrical depth; it’s the way it makes you feel. It’s nostalgic, evoking memories of a time when people poured their hearts out on paper, when waiting for the mailman was part of the day’s highlight. It resonates because, at its core, it’s about human connections—those we have, those we’ve lost, and those we yearn to strengthen.

As you listen to the mellow tunes and the soothing voice of the singer, it’s easy to find yourself reflecting on your own relationships. Who would you write a letter to if you sat down right now? What would you say? The song encourages a return to simplicity, to the authenticity of expressing our feelings without the rush of modern-day communication.

“Send Me a Letter, Amanda” isn’t just a song; it’s a reminder of the power of words and the enduring nature of love and friendship conveyed through them. It’s a piece that not only entertains but also connects with listeners on a deep, emotional level, inviting them to revisit the art of letter writing in their own lives.

Lyrics

I STILL REMEMBER WE GOT TO GETHER
A ROMANCE WAS HOT I RECALL
I WAS AT GRANDMA’S BUT
WHEN SCHOOL WAS STARTING
I HAD TO COME BACK IN THE FALL
YOU GAVE ME YOUR ADDRESS
AND I STARTED WRITING
AT LEAST EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS
AND OUT BY THE MAIL BOX I
WATCHED FOR THE MAILMAN
WITH ANTICIPATION I’D SAY

I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER TODAY
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME OR TELL ME IT’S OVER
I NEED TO KNOW EITHER WAY

MY FRIENDS CALLED ME CRAZY MY
FAMILY ALL GAVE ME
SUGGESTIONS AND FRIENDLY ADVICE
THEY TALKED ABOUT ABSENCE
AND HOW HEARTS GO FONDER
AND FISH IN THE SEA THEY WERE NICE
PRETTY GIRLS FLIRTED AND I WAS ALERTED
SOME THOUGHT I WAS HANDSOME AND SWEET
BUT I WAS DETERMINED
TO WAIT FOR A LETTER
OUT BY THE BOX ON THE STREET

I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER TODAY
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME OR TELL ME IT’S OVER
I NEED TO KNOW EITHER WAY

INSTRUMENTAL

YEARS HAVE FLOWN BY HIM
SO MUCH HAVE CHANGED SINCE BACK THEN

AND FLIES ROUND THE WORLD WITH HIS BAND

HIS SONGS ARE A PICTURE OF LIFE
AND GIRLS SO IS THIS ONE
AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL
THAT WE ARE SINGING WITH HIM TONIGHT

I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER TODAY
I SAID HEY, SEND ME A LETTER AMANDA
