A Letter to Myself Lyrics

Write a letter, write another letter
Write a letter, write another letter
Write a letter

I’m sealing up this letter
I just finished signing your name
My friends would all be surprised
If they knew I was playing this game
I’ll pretend it’s a special delivery
And just to give me a hint
I’ll use your favorite color
Smear it with your favorite scent
Huh, I know you think that I’m crazy
But I can’t loose, what have I left
So I’ve decided to write this letter
And send it to myself
So to make my story short
In the mail box I will place
This letter that I wrote
And it’s stamped with your lovely face

When I’m alone
And I need someone to talk to
I talk to your picture
Get me a pencil and paper [Pencil and paper]
And write all the things
Say all the things
I’ve heard you say before

But with a little extra
[Extra, extra, read all about it]
Sugar and spice
I guess it makes me feel kind of nice

I write a letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Oh...write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]
I write a letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Oh...I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]

What is a home when you’re all alone
It seems so full
It seems so full, but so empty
[Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...]

So I put my coat
Leave you a note
And go to the places, places, places where we used to be
I pretend you are there
Order dinner for two
Your every presence is all in the air

I write a letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]
I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Oh...I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter], mmm, hmm

I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]
I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter], oh, yeah

Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter[
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]

I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Oh...I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter], mmm, hmm
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]
Write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write a letter]

I write another letter [Write a letter] to myself [Write another letter]
[Write a letter, write another letter]

The Chi-lites were great. R.I.P. Eugene Record. Their songs were made that much more effective with the haunting sound of the harmonica intros.
