The Letter Lyrics

today i saw her for the first time
since she left me
and she said "i got a favour to ask of you"
and i said "alright what is it"
and she said "you know you always told me
if i ever needed any help just to ask you
and that you'd help me"
and i said "yea
i remember"
and she said "well.. theres this fellow that ive been goin with
and i just found out
that he's been sleepin around on me
and i thought that maybe
if you'd write me a letter
and tell me that.. you miss me
and that you still love me
that he might find it
and he might read it
and it might make him jealous
and i might not lose him"
and i said "ok,
i'll write you the letter"

Dear Sweetheart,
just a line to let you know
that I still think about you
and i still love you so
i remember your kisses
and everytime you held me tight
but most of all
i remember the good times
that we had each night
Dear Sweetheart,
if you're lonely
just let me know
for you're still my one and only
and i still love you so
i'm gonna close for now sweetheart
and try to go on without you
but dont forget
i'll always love you
no matter what you do
so now
i've written the letter
the way you asked me to
and i hope that makes him jealous
the way you want it to
for i've told you that i still love you
and i wanna be with you
but you know sweetheart
the sadest part
i'm not pretendin
for i still do
