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!
