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 not offer
You diamonds and mansions so fine
I can not offer you
All other riches you crave
But if you'd say that
You long to forever be mine
Think of the teardrops
The heartaches and the sorrow
You'll save
When you are weary
And tired of another woman's gold
When you are lonely
Then think of this letter my own
But don't try to answer
Though I've suffered sorrow 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 all the promises
That you are breaking so free
But to this old world
I'll soon say my farewells at last
I will be going
When you read this last letter from me
