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!

< instrumental break >

I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
from you!
