Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
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
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep 'em coming
Love letters straight from your heart
The song Love Letters, written by Edward Heyman and Victor Young, and popularized by Miller Frankie in the '50s, is a sentimental tune that speaks of the power of written words to keep a long-distance love alive. The singer receives love letters from her beloved, and these letters serve as a source of comfort and reassurance when they are far away from each other. The lyrics depict how the letters keep them near, even though they are apart, and how the singer feels less lonely knowing that the love her loved one writes is always with her.
The singer in the song describes how she memorizes every line of the letters and kisses the name that her lover signs, emphasizing the idea that the written words are a tangible symbol of their love. The song also highlights the importance of pauses in between sentences; the singer reads every line again and again, savoring each moment and allowing the words to resonate with her. Through the song, we see the power of love letters to bring two people closer together, even when they are physically distant.
