Write Me A Letter
The Ravens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's amazing, I call her my best friend
Nobody's replacing this girl I fell in love with
She got it all, her smile, her flaws, I love them
You're so perfect girl

Girl I think you, you, you came from sky
And I know I need you in my life so
I'm tied in heaven, I'm taking you forever
I'm tied in heaven, I'm taking you forever

This is a letter to heaven
I found your angel, she stole my heart
But I'm not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back

I said this a letter to heaven
I found your angel, she stole my heart
But I'm not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back

She came from outerspace, heavens gate
Promise I'll keep this girl safe
If you take her away, Promise I will chase so
You might as well leave her here to stay

Can't you see it's fate?
How she makes my day
Make me feel better, now i feel no pain

I could wake up everyday to her beautiful face
I could wake up everyday to her beautiful face

Girl I think you, you, you came from the sky
And I know i need you in my life so
I'm tied in heaven, I'm taking you forever
I'm tied in heaven, I'm taking you forever

This a letter to heaven, I found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back.

I said this a letter to heaven, i found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back.

I've been better since you came into my life
Came into my life, C-c-came into my life
Said I've been better since you came into my life
Came into my life, C-c-came into my life.

Girl I think you, you, you came from the sky
And i know i need you in my life so i'm tied in heaven
I'm taking you forever, I'm tied in heaven
I'm taking you forever

This is a letter to heaven, I found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back

I said this is a letter to heaven, I found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, not giving her back
Not giving her back

This is a letter to heaven I found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, giving her back
Not giving her back

I said this a letter to heaven I found your angel
She stole my heart but I'm not giving her back
Not giving her back, giving her back
Not giving her back

Dewey Phillips. Rock and Roll DJ 1949-1959. First and best. This was his theme song every program. Lots of letters, calls, and telegrams. Requests. He was #1 in the Memphis area even when he was fired for format.
