Lyrics

[00:11.81] Why do you treat me as if I was only a friend
[00:21.13]
[00:25.76] What have I done that has made you so different and cold
[00:34.88]
[00:39.00] Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
[00:47.25]
[00:51.91] Will you be happy when you are withered and old
[01:00.85]
[01:05.58] I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
[01:15.04]
[01:18.75] I cannot buy you the clothes that your young body crave
[01:29.39]
[01:32.34] But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
[01:42.41]
[01:45.48] Just think of the heartaches the sorrow the teardrops you'll save
[01:55.81]
[01:59.15] While I am writing this letter I think of the past
[02:08.53]
[02:12.91] And of the promises that you have broken so free
[02:24.49]
[02:26.24] And to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
[02:35.32]
[02:38.60] I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
[02:53.72]
