Yours Sincerely

(album: Rosemary Clooney Sings Rodgers, Hart & Hammerstein - 1989)

Dearest one
I write what I'm afraid to speak
I'm weak when I'm with you
Tears of love are causing
All the ink to blot
So what am I to do?
Hoping to find the phrases
Groping to find each word
How they all burn like blazes
Now they all seem absurd
Though I don't know where to end
And to begin
You must give in because

I'm yours sincerely
The one who loves you dearly
To think about it nearly takes
My breath away
Very truly
My passion is unruly
A dream of you is newly born
Each night and day
Oh, but my thoughts are fervent
How can I make them play?
Ever your humble servant
Faithfully I remain
I'm intending
To find a happy ending
Because I love you dearly
I'm sincerely yours
