[B] [F]
Today I [Bb] saw her for the first time since she left me.
And she said, [Eb] I got a favor to ask of you.
[Em] And I said, all [F] right, 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 [Bb] me.
And I said, yeah, I remember.
[C] And she said, well, [Em] there's this fellow that I've been going with.
[F] And I just found out that he's been slipping around on me.
And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter and tell me that [Bb] you miss me and
that you still love me, that he might find it and he [C] might read it [Eb] and it might [Em] make
him jealous and I might not lose him.
[F] 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 [C] [G] every time you [C] 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 [F] my one and only and I still love you so.
[Em] [F] I'm going to close for now, sweetheart, and try to go on without you.
But don't forget, I'll always love you no matter [Bb] what you do.
So now I've written the letter the way you've asked [F] me to, [Bb] [F] and I hope it makes him jealous
[C] [Dm] the way you want it to.
[C] For I've told you that 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.
