I wrote my first love letter at 21 years old I wrote my first love letter and I waited for the post To see if I'll have courage I'll send you all my soul I wrote my first love letter, now I can't seem to let it go It cost me 3 cents extra to get it packed with care But baby this one's fragile, so if you read please beware What's my fate? What's my fate? If I should ever send this page Oh, be brave, oh, be brave. It's too late. If I ever gained the courage before we're old and grown When you read my letter it's gon' rock your heart and soul 'Cause baby in my letter is my love written so bold.
