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
