I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter
(Ahlert/Young)


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 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
