I'm Gonna Sit Right Down 
and Write Myself a Letter

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!

 

< instrumental break >

 

I'm gonna sit right down 

an' write myself a letter

and make believe it came 

. . . from you!
