Last Letter — текст песни (Waylon Jennings)

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 can`t offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
And I can`t offer you clothes your young body crave
But if you`d love me and say that you`ll always be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you`ll save honey
[ steel ]
When you are weary and tired of another man`s gold
If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own
But don`t try to answer though I`ve suffered sorrow untold
If you don`t love me I wish you would leave me alone
