Last Letter Lyrics - Jack Greene

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend? 

What have I done, that's made you so different and cold? 

Sometimes, I wonder if you'll be contented again 

Or will you be happy when you are withered and old 

I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine 

And I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves 

But, if you'll say that you long to forever be mine 

Just take off the heartaches, the tears and this sorrow you'll save 

When you are weary and tired of another man's gold 

And when you get lonely, remember this letter my own 

But, don't try to answer though, I've suffered anguish 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 of the promises that you are breaking, so free 

But, to this old world, I'll soon say my farewell at last 

I will be gone, when you read this last letter from me
