Last Love Letter
Connie and Babe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I savor every word that you write
In your letter to me
I like the parts that make be blush
Oh you devil you
And where you write sentimental stuff
As only you can do
But where you write me that you miss me
I read that part over and over and
Where you write me that you love me
I read that part over and over and over and over again
I read your letters over cappuccino
Just as if you were here
And it's embarrassing but I'll imagine
You're whispering in my ear
I like the parts that you write in French
And I'm not quite sure what you say
And the parts you describe me
In all those flattering ways
But where you write me that you miss me
I read that part over and over and
Where you write me that you love me
I read that part over and over and over and over again
All day long I'm out in traffic
I've got meetings, I've got things I've got to do
But if I get even a moment to myself
I slip a look at that letter from you
The song "Last Love Letter" is a poignant ballad about the depth of feeling that arises from the distance between loved ones. The song speaks to the power of words and their ability to bridge that divide, even in the absence of physical connection. The singer reads and rereads a letter from her lover, savoring each word and imagining the ways in which he would speak to her if he were present. She describes getting lost in the details, giggling at the parts that make her blush, and marveling at the ways in which her lover flatters her with words. But what truly sets her heart aflutter are the parts where he expresses his love and longing for her - those lines she reads over and over again, trying to extract every bit of meaning and emotion from them.
The song is a testament to the power of the written word and its ability to convey emotion and intimacy from a distance. It speaks to our universal desire for connection and intimacy, and the longing we experience when we are unable to be physically close to those we love. At its core, "Last Love Letter" is a deeply romantic song that reminds us of the ways in which love can transcend time and space.
