Today I saw her for the first
time since she left me
And she said I've got a favor to ask of ye
and I said all right what is it
And she said you know
you always told me
If I ever needed any help just
to ask you and you'd help me
And I said yeah I remember and she said
Well there's this fellow that I've
been going with
And I just found out that he's been
slipping around 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 may find it an d it might
greed it
And it might make him jealous
and I might not lose it
And I said OK I'll write you the letter
Dear sweetheart just a line
to let you know
That I still think about ye and I still
love you so
I remember your kisses and every
time 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 don't forget I'll always love you
no matter what you do
So now I've written the letter the
way you've asked me to
An d I hope it makes him jealous
the way you want it to
For I've told you I still love you
and I want to be with you
But you know sweetheart the saddest part
I'm not pretending for I still do
