I wrote this little song shortly after Linda and I discovered our love for each other. I always imagined it with a happy folk melody. She the early riser would often have written me something before I got up. I would rush to my computer first thing to see if there was anything waiting for me.

Sleep, it has departed.
I really must get started
For I’m waiting for a letter from my love.

My love, who brings me joy in the morning
My love, who helps me make it through the day
Dreams I have while waking
There is just no mistaking
I’m waiting for a letter from my love.

A simple little letter
It makes the day much better
I’m waiting for a letter from my love.

My love who is the one that I’ve been missing
My love who makes me sing a happy song
My pillow in the floor
I’m running for the dor
For I’m waiting for a letter from my love.

I say a little prayer to
The One who gave me to you
As I’m waiting for a letter from my love.

Oh God who makes such sweet anticipation
Oh thank you for what you have done for me
My morning’s all aglow
For in my heart I know
That I’m waiting for a letter from my love.
