Not the Box Tops "The Letter"
It started as a kind of a parody of a Hollies song, but the joke ended being so good to keep it private.
lyrics
When I'm feeling sad and down I write myself a letter
put the words I'd like to hear and it makes me feel better
then I close my eyes and start to wonder
why can't she say all those things I'd love to hear
then I write another letter
and I send it back to me
Everybody says I'm crazy, I’m living in my letters
I can't help it when I'm writing, I dream that I could get her
when I'm sad and down I fly away,
make up the words I'd like to say and I feel better
and I write another letter
Instead of crying over her
Don't say it's alright, alright?
Don't say it's alright
Cos I know she won't be back and never
will read any line and I never will forget her
guess I'll only would forget her
If I fall in love with you
