I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna write words so sweet
they're gonna knock me off my feet
a lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got them
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
and close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
. . . from you!
