Love Letters
Lester Kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign




And darling then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Love Letters" by Lester Kitty are a romantic tribute to the power of the written word, and its ability to keep love alive even when two people are separated by distance. The opening lines, "Love letters straight from your heart/ Keep us so near while apart," suggest that the act of writing and receiving love letters is a way for the two people to stay connected emotionally, even when they are physically separated. This theme is echoed in the chorus, where the singer describes how they memorize every line of the letters, and kiss the name that the sender signs at the bottom. The act of reading and re-reading the letters brings the two people closer together, and makes them feel less alone.


Overall, the song is a reminder of the importance of communication in relationships, and how even something as simple as a love letter can make a big difference in keeping love alive. It also taps into a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time when letter writing was more common, and people spent more time thinking about their words before putting them on paper. In our fast-paced digital age, the sentiment of "Love Letters" is perhaps more relevant than ever, as we are all searching for ways to make real, meaningful connections with others.

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darlin', then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
