I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Crafting Love in Ink: Paul McCartney's Melodic Memoir
Lyrics
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Expressing the intention to sit down and compose a letter.
And make believe it came from you
Imagining the letter as if it were received from a specific person.
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
Planning to write affectionate and endearing words.
They're gonna knock me off my feet
Anticipating a strong emotional impact from the written words.
A lotta kisses on the bottom
Referring to the physical placement of kisses at the end of the letter.
I'll be glad I've got 'em
Expressing satisfaction about having received those kisses.
I'm gonna smile and say
Committing to respond positively, conveying well wishes and concern.
I hope you're feeling better
Wishing the imaginary sender good health or improved well-being.
And close with love the way you do
Promising to conclude the letter with expressions of love.
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Reiterating the intention to sit down and write a letter to oneself.
And I'm make believe it came from you
Continuing the fantasy of the letter being from the imagined sender.
I'm gonna smile and say
Repeating the sentiment of expressing good wishes and concern.
I hope you're feeling better
Wishing the imaginary sender a positive and improved state.
And close with love the way you do
Promising to close the letter with expressions of love, mirroring the imagined sender.
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Reaffirming the intention to sit down and write a letter to oneself.
And I'm make believe, ah I'm gonna make believe
Emphasizing the act of imagining the sender while composing the letter.
I'm gonna make believe it came from you
Reiterating the fantasy that the letter is from the imagined sender.
