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 and 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

And I hope it makes him jealous the way you want it to

For I've told you I still love you and I wanna be with you

But you know sweetheart the saddest part I'm not pretending for I still do
