A letter a day keeps the lakes away A letter a day A letter a day while you're far away Will keep all the tears from my heart Just send me a line sayin' you're doin' fine And you'll miss me each day we're apart Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh A letter a day while you're far away Will keep you in mind every night I'll read every line, darling, time after time And I'll love every line that you write Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh A letter a day Don't forget to write me Put X's around your name Those kisses will remind me You'll be lonely and I'll be the same The long lonely summer will be over soon You'll be in my arms again September isn't really very far from June But a letter a day will do then Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh A letter a day Don't forget to write me Put X's around your name Those kisses will remind me You'll be lonely and I'll be the same The long lonely summer will be over soon You'll be in my arms again September isn't really very far from June But a letter a day will do then Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh A letter a day Put X's away A letter a day
