The Hollies - Please, Sign Your Letters, 1969

Please sign your letters Please don't make me blue Please sign your letters, And then I'll know it's you Can't stop thinking of you You're always on my mind Please sign your letters Please don't be unkind

I read your letter I read most every line You said you loved me, Said you would be mine My heart was jumping Something shook my mind I found your letter was left unsigned

Your letter said we'd met some time ago I'd like to see you, But somehow you just won't show I just don`t know which way to go

Please sign your letters Please don`t be unkind
