Last Letter Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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 your young body crave 

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

Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrows you'll save 

While I am writing this letter I think of the past 

And of the promises that you are breaking so free 

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

I will be gone when you'll 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 

But don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold 

If you don't love me I just wish you would leave me alone
