Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
|
What have I done that has made you so different and cold
|
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
|
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
|
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
|
And I cannot offer you the clothes that your young body craves
|
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
|
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save
|
[ guitar ]
|
When you are lonely and tired of another man's gold
|
When you are weary remember this letter my own
|
Don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
|
If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone
|
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
|
And of the promises that you are broking so free
|
But to this old world I will soon say my farewell at last
|
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
