You should know my little darling, You left my poor heart in distress. ***Chorus***: I got a letter from my darling, She said she hated to go. It broke my heart the words she wrote me, She closed by saying I love you so. ********************** This letter meant goodbye forever, Though we'll have each other's hearts. Our love will fade away in sadness, Precious one why do we have to part? ***Chorus She wrote the words she knew would hurt me, She said I never could be true. I've tried, I'ved tried my little darling, To prove my love was just for you. ***Chorus
