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

by Nat King Cole

on Stardust: The Rare Television Performances (2016), Let's Face The Music (1964), The Billy May Sessions (1993)

(F. Ahlert, J. 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 of 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 that 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 that it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet, yeah!

Lotta 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 that 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
Make believe that it came from you!
