Lyrics:
I still remember when we got together
our romance was hot, I recall
I was at Grandma's but when school was starting
I had to come back in the fall
You gave me your address and I started writing
at least every couple of days
And out by the mailbox I'd watch for the mailman.
With anticipation I'd say . . .
And I said, "Hey! Send me a letter Amanda!"
I said, "Hey! Send me a letter today!"
I said, "Hey! Send me a letter Amanda!"
Tell me you love me or
Tell me it's over
I need to know either way
My friends called me crazy; my family all gave me
suggestions and friendly advice
They talked about absence, and hearts that grow fonder,
and fish in the sea, they were nice
Pretty girls flirted and I was alerted.
Some thought I was handsome and sweet
But I was determined to wait for a letter
out by the box on the street
Now he is older, years have flown by us.
So much has changed since back then
He makes his music and rides in a big bus
and flies round the world with his band
The papers and TV say nice things about him.
His songs are a picture of life.
And girl, so is this one and we are so thankful
we’re singing this with him tonight.
We say "Hey! Send me a letter Amanda!"
We say, "Hey! Send me a letter today!"
"Hey! Send me a letter Amanda!"
We'll send you some flowers
Me, David and Howard
And a brand new CD right away!
We'll send you some flowers
Me, David and Howard
And a brand new CD right away!
