Last Letter — текст песни (Dottie West)

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
And will you be happy when you are withered and old
No I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
And I cannot offer you all the clothes that your young body crave
But if you`ll say that you long to forever be mine
Why just think of the heartaches all the tears and the sorrow you`ll save
When you grow weary and tired of another one`s gold
When you get lonely remember this letter my own
But don`t try to reach me though I`ve suffered anguish untold
If you don`t love me I just wish you would leave me alone
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you have broken so free
And to this old world I`ll soon say my farewell at last
Yes I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
