Mailman passes by
And I just wonder why
He never stops to ring my front doorbell

There´s not a single line
From that old love of mine
Not a word since I last heard farewell
That´s the reason that 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 lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be, oh, so glad I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Close "with love" the way you use to do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Make believe, make believe, make believe a little came from you

I'm gonna sit right down write myself a letter, oh
And make believe it came from you
Gonna write words so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom,
I'll be glad and I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
And close "with love" the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter, oh
And make believe it came from you
Just you, oh

I'm gonna write, "I love you, honey, 'deed I do"
And make believe it came from you
I'm tired of waitin', 'cause I’m so blue
Thinkin' of you all day through

I'm gonna say the sweet things that I love to hear
I'll live in a dream and just pretend you're near
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter
I'm gonna fool myself when I make myself
Believe the letter came from you
