Though the lyrics commonly refer to “Strawberry Letter 22,“ Otis explains that, “the song is about a love letter. The guy and the girl had written each other 22 love letters. And the 23rd one, he writes is a song.“ Song: Hello my love, I heard a kiss from you Red magic satin playing near, too All through the morning rain I gave, the sun doesn’t shine Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind In the garden, I see west purples shower bells and tea Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green Pretty music I hear so happy and loud Blue flowers echo from a cherry cloud Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue, playgrounds will laugh If you try to ask, well is it cool? Is it cool? If you arrive and don’t see me, I’m gonna be with my baby, yeah I am free flying in her arms over the sea Stained window yellow candy screen see speakers of kite With velvet roses diggin’ freedom flight A present from you, strawberry letter 22 The music plays I sit in for a few A present from you, strawberry letter 22 The music plays I sit in for a few --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are also interested in everything Barry White has made and produced (Follow The White Page on Facebook ) Just a little bit different! 2021 HTFB Hard To Find Beats
