Love Letters

Ketty Lester

Written by Victor Young and Edward Heyman



Peaked at # 5 in 1962

Revoyda Frierson's first and only Top 10 single, released under her stage-

name "Ketty Lester." Ketty later commented that the song was recorded in a

garage studio in LA, and, surprisingly, her vocals were recorded in a

bathroom. Cover version of Dick Haymes' 1945 Top 15 pop hit. Later

performed by Elvis as a Top 20 hit in 1966.



Love letters straight from your heart

Keep us so near while apart

I'm not alone in the night

When I can have all the love you write



I memorize every line

And I kiss the name that you sign

And, darling, then I read again right from the start

Love letters straight from your heart



I memorize every line

And I kiss the name that you sign

And, darlin', then I read again right from the start

Love letters straight from your heart
