The Letter

Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn



Today, I saw her for the first time since she left me

And she said I've got a favor to ask of you

And I said all right, what is it?

And she said you know you always told me

If I ever needed any help just to ask and you'd help me

And I said, yeah, I remember

And she said, well, there's this fellow that I've been goin' with

And I just found out that he's been slippin' around on me

And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter

And tell me that you miss me and that you still love me

That he might find it and he might read it and

It might make him jealous and I might not lose him

And I said, Ok I'll write you the letter.



Dear sweetheart, just a line to let you know

That I still think about you and I still love you so

I remember your kisses and everytime you held me tight

But most of all I remember the good times that we had each night.



Dear sweetheart, if you're lonely, just let me know

For you're still my one and only and I still love you so

I'm gonna close for now sweetheart and try to go on without you

But don't forget I'll always love you, no matter what you do.



So now I've written the letter the way you asked me to

And I hope it makes him jealous, the way you wanted it to

For I've told you I still love you and I want to be with you.



But you know sweetheart the saddest part

I'm not pretending for I still do...
