Lyrics

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe, it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say, "I hope you're feeling better"
And close with "Love" the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe, it came from you

I'm gonna smile and say, "I hope you're feeling better"
And close with "Love" the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe
Oh, I'm gonna make believe
I'm gonna make believe, it came from you
