Shakin Stevens - A Letter to you 1984
I tore my letter up, I couldn't even start
To tell you what's really here in my heart
There's only so much that words can so
So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took some flowers in the spring, mad a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took a song from the lark - The moon from the dark
A spark from the sparkling due
With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
I took the mornin' sun, peekin' through the trees
And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
I folded 'em up - sealed 'em with a kiss
It's the kind of letter that you can't resist.
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took some flowers in the spring, mad a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took a song from the lark - The moon from the dark
A spark from the sparkling due
With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
(Instrumental)
In a day or two - just you wait and see
You're gonna get a special delivery
You'll know the way I feel - there can't be any doubt
When you open it up and let the love spill out
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took some flowers in the spring, mad a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took a song from the lark - The moon from the dark
A spark from the sparkling due
With a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
Germans only understand schlager music. Shaky is great i love his music. The original clip is very nice of this song.

@BobbyUK1979 Agree with you. Audience looks dead bored, pity, cos he was good!

A wonderful song with a bouncy tempo. Poor Shaky seemed to look awkward? I'm not surprised if he did feel daft bouncing about with his back to a seemingly disinterested audience. That exit at the end looked contrived too as he came back out anyway and took a bow, lol.

Remember seeing this on German TV, in the 80´s!
I was SO impressed by Shaky at that time.
Somehow I now wonder...WHY?
Anyway...still better then the crap he does nowadays.
