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!

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