The Letter
Amber And Dan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mom's always had a special way of her own
She believes that love deserves to be shown
A Facebook post or an email just won't do
It takes thought and effort to show your love is true
She sends me cards and letters written out by hand
In old fashioned envelopes
She even licks the stamp
Her cards and letters show me how much she cares
I hope her cards and letters keep coming for years and years
For as long as I know her cards and letters have come
No matter where I am, they remind me of home
One thing I can count on to always be done
Is being loved with cards and letters from Mom
She sends me cards and letters written out by hand
In old fashioned envelopes
She even licks the stamp
Her cards and letters show me how much she cares
I hope her cards and letters keep coming for years and years




I hope her cards and letters keep coming for years and years
I love her card and letters

Many thanks to Stevie J for coming on! What do you make of Amber's letter?

@bevmacdonald9008

It does sound a lot like extortion to my unlettered ears. The letter also predates her attempt to fulfill those threats during the divorce proceedings.

@marybodnar4749

She blackmailed him for all those things that Stevie said, but he forgot to mention THREE PENTHOUSES!!!

@Hellohellonada

It was later brought up in the full video I believe

@marleneg7794

Johnny could have said no.

@tegannottelling

@@marleneg7794 WHY are you supporting a domestic violence perpetrator???
Do you do this to any partner you might have had??? Totally NOT OKAY!!!
Your kind of Narcissistic justifications are VERY telling.
Disgusting!
You make it so much harder for both women and men who are the victims of DV to get help. Go gaslight your own bum 😡

@tracyomalley9470

She's definitely after his MONEY , extortion is a BAD one , she is truly evil 😡

@sandravl9354
