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
