Lyrics
One little word led to another
Before we knew it we were through
I knew that I could love no other
So there was just one thing to do
Chorus
I took my pen in hand and wrote a letter
Then I addressed it to my turtle-dove
Bought a two-cent stamp and that two-cent stamp
Brought me back a million dollar love
It did the trick and now we’re back together
And once again we’re like a hand in glove
Not Aladdin’s lamp but a two-cent stamp
Brought me back a million dollar love
“Make up again, don’t stay apart”
Love seemed to say, “It’s for the best
Just dip your pen into your heart
And let your heart do the rest”
So I sat down and wrote that little letter
Now I can thank my lucky stars above
‘Cause a two-cent stamp, just a two-cent stamp
Brought me back a million dollar love
