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

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 Kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I've got 'em I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better" And sign "with love" the way you do I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you 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 Kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I've got 'em I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better" And sign "with love" the way you do I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter And make believe it came from you And make believe it came from you.
