Last Letter — текст песни (Jack Greene)

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