Marty Robbins - The Last Letter lyrics

rate me

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend<br />

What have I done that has made you so distant and cold<br />

Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again<br />

Will you be happy when you are withered and old<br />

<br />

I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions, so fine<br />

I cannot offer you clothes you're young body craves<br />

But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine<br />

Think of the heartaches and the tears and the sorrows you'll save<br />

<br />

While I am writing this letter I think of the past<br />

And all the promises that you are breakin' so free<br />

But to this cruel world I'll soon say my farewell at last<br />

I will be gone when you read this last letter from me<br />

<br />

When you are lonely and tired of another man's gold<br />

When you are lonely, remember this letter, my own<br />

Don't try to answer though I'll suffer anguish untold<br />

If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone
