Last Letter
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?
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all of the riches you crave
But if you'd say that you'll always forever be mine
Think of the teardrops, the heartaches and sorrow, you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another man'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?
As I'm handwriting this letter I think of the past
And all the promises that you're 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
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?
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all of the riches you crave
But if you'd say that you'll always forever be mine
Think of the teardrops, the heartaches and sorrow, you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another man'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?
As I'm handwriting this letter I think of the past
And all the promises that you're 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
