I'm gonna sit right down and write
myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you,
I'm gonna right words oh, so sweet,
They're gonna knock me off my feet,
A lot of 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!
