The Last Letter

(Rex Griffin)



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 or mansions so fine

I cannot offer you clothes your young body craves

But if you say that you long to forever be mine

Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow, you'll save



--- Instrumental ---



Honey, when you are weary and tired of another mans gold

If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own

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

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



While I am writing this letter I think of the past

And all 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 read this last letter from me....
