I M Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter

Dean Martin · Other Songs - Dean Martin

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 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

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 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...
