Last Letter

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend? What have I done that has made you so distant and cold? Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again Will you be happy when you are withered and old? [Verse 2] I can not offer you diamonds and mansions so fine I can not offer you all other riches you crave But if you'd say that, you long to forever be mine Think of the teardrops, the heartaches and the sorrow you'll save [Verse 3] When you are weary and tired of another woman's gold When you are lonely, then think of this letter my own But don't try to answer, though I've suffered sorrow untold If you don't love me, then why don't you leave me alone? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] As I am writing this letter, I think of the past And all the promises that you are breaking so free But to this old world, I'll soon say my farewells at last I will be gone when you read this last letter from me [Instrumental Outro]
