Intro: verse 1 Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend What have I done that's 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 verse 2 I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves But if you'll say that you just love me and always be mine Just think of the tears the heartaches and sorrow you'll save verse 3 While I am writing this letter I think of the past And of the promises that you have broken so free But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last Cause I will be gone when you read this last letter from me (fade)
