I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Love's Ink: Penning Sweet Fantasies on Paper
Lyrics
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Expressing the intention to sit down and write a letter to oneself.
And make believe it came from you
Imagining that the letter was sent by someone else, creating a sense of connection.
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
Planning to write affectionate and sweet words in the letter.
They're gonna knock me off my feet.
Anticipating that the content of the letter will be emotionally overwhelming.
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em
Expecting to receive a lot of kisses, metaphorically speaking, in the letter.
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Planning to express concern for the well-being of the recipient.
Then close "with love" the way that you do
Closing the letter with a familiar and affectionate sign-off.
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, ah-huh
Reiterating the intention to write a letter to oneself.
I'm gonna make believe it came from you
Continuing the imaginative aspect, pretending the letter is from someone else.
I'm gonna sit right down write myself a letter, oh, babe
Repeating the intention to sit down and write a letter, addressing a loved one.
And make believe it came from you
Reiterating the imaginative element of the letter coming from someone else.
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
Emphasizing the intention to write affectionate and sweet words in the letter.
They're gonna knock me off my feet
Anticipating that the content of the letter will be emotionally powerful.
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em
Expecting to receive a lot of kisses in the letter, symbolizing affection.
I'll smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Expressing good wishes for the recipient's well-being.
Then close "with love" the way that you do
Closing the letter with a familiar and affectionate sign-off, mirroring a typical letter closing.
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter, oh yeah
Reaffirming the intention to write a letter, this time emphasizing the act itself.
I'm gonna make believe it came from you
Continuing the imaginative aspect, pretending the letter is from someone else.
