I still remember we got together
A 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 watched for the mailman
With anticipation, I’d say

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 how hearts go 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

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

Now he’s older
The years have flown by him

So much have changed since back then
He makes his music rides in a big bus
And flies round the world with his band
The papers and TV says
Nice things about him

His songs are a picture of life
And girls so is this one
And we are so thankful
That we are singing with him tonight

I said hey, send me a letter Amanda

I said hey, send me a letter today
I said 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
