I decided one day to write you a letter and tell you how much I care

And about how it feels when you walk beside me and the joy of being a pair

I remember the day we got together I remember it like today

I was struck by lightning that's why I'm writing a letter to lulu-mae



You were standing on the porch as I drove up the driveway as lovely as one can be

You would make any man so greatful of living and you choose a man like me

Though I work all day and sometimes all evening I never had no complaints

We've been friends though fighting that's why I'm writing a letter to lulu-mae



I decided one day to write you a letter from my tent here in my platoon

You send me a poem

Quite hope I'll see you soon

From your mr. lonely

The one and only

A letter to lulu-mae
