Letter and a Ring

(Conway Twitty - J.E. Lewis)



I came home this morning

I looked around

I called out to my darling

But not a sound.



And there upon the table

By an old love magazine

Was a letter from my baby

And a golden wedding ring.



The table told a story

I can't forget

A half a cup of coffee

And a half smoked cigarette.



I could see she'd waited

Hoping I'd come home

But some coffee and the cigarette

Told me that she was gone.



I opened up the letter

And read the tear-stained lines

My world for me was ending

Right before my eyes.



She said, "I set you free now

Go long and have your fling."

And all my baby left me

Was a letter and a ring.
