Lyrics
I remember the days of a red heart-shaped box Whose Valentine candy replaced with some rocks I collected when I used to walk hand in hand With a boy years ago in the cold Newport sand Add to that dried petals from a pink rose And a white lace corsage with silk ribbons and bows A couple of tickets from late movie shows But the thing I hold on to, the thing I miss most Nostalgia for lined paper and black ball point pen The white out, the cross out, the careful reshaping Of letters, I’d hold them and take them to bed with me But now the love letters are written electronically Never mind using cursive or stationery I can’t name one person who still writes to me The spiral bound pages folded inconspicuously Nostalgia for lined paper and black ball point pen The white out, the cross out, the careful reshaping Of letters, I wonder how he forms his capital “T” Now that love letters are written electronically And what about the craft? Penmanship doesn’t matter anymore These words that he’s chosen, so beautiful That I’m moved to tears So these words he’s composed I remembered to save So they won’t get deleted after 30 days I could print a hard copy but it’s just not the same And I’m not sure if I even know where that box is anyway Nostalgia for lined paper and black ball point pen The white out, the cross out, the careful reshaping Of letters, oh these are the things that I wish I could see Now that love letters are written electronically
