Marty Robbins - The Last Letter lyrics

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 cannot offer you diamonds and mansions
So fine i cannot offer you clothes
You’re young body craves
But if you'll say that you
Long to forever be mine
Think of the heartaches and the tears
And the sorrows you'll save

While I am writing this letter
I think of the past
And all the promises that you
Are breakin’ so free
But to this cruel world I'll soon
Say my farewell at last
I will be gone when you read
This last letter from me

When you are lonely and tired
Of another man's gold
When you are lonely, remember this letter
My own don't try to answer though
I'll suffer anguish untold
If you don't love me I wish
You would leave me alone
