Sundays sitting on your back porch And I came up with a couple of cords And I played for you You let me keep you entertained With stories I exaggerate That you know aren't true And as you sit there making daisy chains And I throw in a hand granate And tell you how it is I really feel for you I'm sending postcards from my heart With love for a postmark and then You know that you make me feel like we've been caught Like kids in the school yard again And I can't keep it to myself Can't spell it any better L.O.V.E forever I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard I don't care who sees what I sent Or if the whole world knows what's in my head We chased the sun til it got away On a bicycle that your daddy made But not made for two Then we sat out on your rocking chair You with a flower in your hair That I found for you But then Monday always comes around And it's sad 'cause I can't see you now Wan't you to know you're always in my head I'm sending postcards from my heart With love for a postmark and then.. You know that you make me feel like we've been caught Like kids in the school yard again And I can't keep it to myself Can't spell it any better L.O.V.E forever I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard I don't care who sees what I sent Or if the whole world knows what's in my head You know sometimes it's hard to see You say the world that torture me But inside I know exactly how I feel The things that I can't say out loud I'll find a place to write it down I hope that they will find you in the end I'm sending postcards from my heart With love for a postmark and then You know that you make me feel like we've been caught Like kids in the school yard again And I can't keep it to myself Can't spell it any better L.O.V.E forever I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard I don't care who sees what I sent Or if the whole world knows what's in my head know, know, know All the things I want you to know, know, know All the things I want you to know, know, know All the things I want you to know, know, know All the things I want you to know, know, know All the things I want you to know, know, know All the things I want you to know
