I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye

(Ernest Tubb)



Your letter came this very day

And it wiped all my dreams away

I read it o'er a thousand times

It's left me with a worried mind.



I wonder why you said goodbye

And did you mean to make me cry

I guess until the day I die

That I will still be wondering why.



--- Instrumental ---



I'd read the thought that we are through

And that you found somebody new

I love you now I always will

I'd rather die than say farewell.



I wonder why you said goodbye

And did you mean to make me cry

I guess until the day I die

That I will still be wondering why.



--- Instrumental ---



I hope and pray before my time

That you'll come back and say you're mine

Bring back the love you took away

And mend the heart you broke today.



I wonder why you said goodbye

And did you mean to make me cry

I guess until the day I die

That I will still be wondering why...
