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
