Lyrics

Oh oh oh
ooo ooo ooo
Oh oh oh

So pretty she was twenty
Writing letters through the war
She worked in an office
It was 1944
She never skipped her letters
Then she waited at her door
For her sailor on the Midway
Coming back to the shore

Oh oh oh
Love Letters they would write
Talking how they're missing
Being together every night

Oh oh oh
Through the years they held on tight
Passed through generations
The stories of their lives

Oh oh oh
Ooo ooo ooo
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Ooo ooo ooo
Oh oh oh
So handsome he was twenty
Flying seaplanes in the war
Writing in the evening
Loved to say she's beautiful
He never skipped her letters
Then he flew home just for her
Quickly married in November
Then went back to the war

Oh oh oh
Love Letters they would write
Talking how they're missing
Being together every night
Oh oh oh
Through the years they held on tight
Passed through generations
The stories of their lives

I'm learning from these letters
From 1944
We tell the same stories
Different years, different wars
Held onto what she told me
In her letters she would write
Enjoy your time together
It's the best days of your life

Oh oh oh
Love Letters they would write
Talking how they're missing
Being together every night

Oh oh oh
Through the years they held on tight
Passed through generations
The stories of their lives

Oh oh oh
Ooo ooo ooo
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Ooo ooo ooo
Oh oh oh
