I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Love's Penmanship: Crafting Sweet Words to Lift the Heart
Lyrics
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
I plan to sit down and compose a letter for myself
And make believe it came from you
I will pretend that the letter is from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
The letter will contain sweet and affectionate words
They're gonna knock me off my feet.
The words in the letter will emotionally affect me strongly
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em
Anticipating receiving many kisses, metaphorically described as being on the bottom of the letter
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
I will express a positive sentiment, wishing for your well-being
Then close "with love" the way that you do
Concluding the letter with a closing phrase like "with love" in the manner you usually do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, ah-huh
Reiteration of the intention to write a letter to oneself
I'm gonna make believe it came from you
Reiterating the act of imagining the letter is from the person being addressed
I'm gonna sit right down write myself a letter, oh, babe
Repetition of the desire to write a letter for oneself
And make believe it came from you
Repeating the act of pretending the letter is from the person being addressed
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
Expressing the intention to write affectionate words in the letter
They're gonna knock me off my feet
Anticipating that the words in the letter will have a profound emotional impact
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em
Expecting to receive numerous kisses metaphorically placed on the bottom of the letter
I'll smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Expressing a positive wish for the well-being of the person being addressed
Then close "with love" the way that you do
Concluding the letter with a closing phrase like "with love" in the manner the person being addressed does
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter, oh yeah
Reiteration of the intention to write a letter for oneself
I'm gonna make believe it came from you
Reiterating the act of imagining the letter is from the person being addressed
