I woke up this morning and wrote down this song, I just don't remember who to send it to.

Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter...

As I write this letter

My uncle took the message,
and he wrote it on the wall.

Every day I write the book.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

Paperback Writer ~ The Beatles

Deanne said...

I hope you don't mind that I wrote down the words,
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

~Your Song, Elton John

Gonna write a classic,
Gonna write it in an attic.

What was that called? Gonna Write A Classic, I guess. No recall of who it was by.

Listen children to a story that was written long ago,
about a people on a mountain and the valley folk below.

The Ballad of Billy Jack
(a.k.a. One Tin Soldier) - Coven

Gonna write a little letter
Gonna send it to my local DJ
There's a jumpin little record
I want my jockey to play

"Roll Over Beethoven," Chuck Berry and then some others

They're very short books, up on my shelf. Very short books, I could have wrote 'em myself.

Very Short Books
by Tom Tuerff


BTW on the Elton John song posted by deanne, it's:
"I *put* down in the words" not *wrote*.

I thought of that song last night, then was disappointed when I remembered the proper wording.

Sandra Dodd said...

If you wanted the sky I would
write across the sky in
letters that would
soar a thousand feet
high "to
Sir with love"

Lulu, from a movie, in the 60's, and musically, I guess the lines divide up as above. It's got a kind of a slow calypso underbeat. It's a run-on verse.

Sandra Dodd said...

Tell me who
Who wrote the book of Love
(Who wrote the book of Love)

? (I don't know who.)

Shanona Ryder said...

If they asked me I could write a book
about the way you walk and whisper and look...

---Harry Connick, Jr

That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' I'd better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over.
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and
I don't have time to go round and round

- I'm Not Ready to Make Nice by the Dixie Chicks

btw Sandra, it was The Monotones who sang The Book of Love :-)

I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene

Teacher I Need You
Elton John/Bernie Taupin

Schuyler said...

A tisket, a tasket,
a red and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love and
on the way I dropped it.

Deborah in IL said...

She wrote upon it
"Return to sender"
"Address unknown"
"No such number"

(and some other no such...)

Elvis Presley sang it

Deborah in IL said...

2 am and I'm still awake writing a song
If I get it all down on paper
It's no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to

Breathe (2 am)
Anna Nalick

Deborah in IL said...

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all

Plain White T's

Deborah in IL said...

I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong

I Will Write You a Song
Plain White T's
