Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 of my feet
Lotsa kisses on the bottom and I'll be glad I got 'em
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna smile and say, I hope you're feelin' better
And close with love, the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe that it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet, yeah
Lotsa kisses on the bottom and I'll be glad I got 'em
[Verse 4]
Gonna smile and say, I hope you're feelin' better
And close with love, the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came
Make believe it came
From you
