Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep us so near while we're apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling, then I read again
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
The lyrics to Julie London's song "Love Letters" discuss the power of written words in maintaining a long-distance relationship. The opening lines, "Love letters straight from your heart, keep us so near while we're apart" emphasizes the importance of staying emotionally connected even when physically separated. The singer in the song finds comfort in reading love letters and feels that they are not alone because they have those words of love to hold onto. The lines, "I'm not alone in the night when I can have all the love you write" directly express this sentiment.
The second verse then delves into the experience of reading the letters themselves. The singer memorizes every line and kisses the name of the sender, emphasizing how significant and cherished the letters are to them. The final lines, "Right from the start, love letters straight from your heart" bring the song full circle, reminding the listener once again about the power of love letters in keeping a relationship strong despite distance.

(Ukrainian version):
До мене йдуть твої листи,
Хоча далеко дуже ти.
Ти мого серця не залишиш,
Коли у них так про кохання пишеш.
Усі рядки в них знаю я
Й цілую в них твоє ім'я.
І перечитую їх знов - вони, мабуть,
Прямо із серця твого йдуть.
(інтерлюдія)
І перечитую їх знов - вони, мабуть,
Прямо із серця твого йдуть.

My dad introduced me to a lot of jazz artists & crooners, but for some reason, among the female jazz artists back then, only Julie London caught my fancy - my favourite by leaps & bounds.
