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 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
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, make believe, make believe it came from you
Written by: Fred E. Ahlert, Joe Young
