Why do you treat me
as if I were only a friend?
What have I done
that has made you so different
and cold?
Sometimes I wonder
if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy
when you are wizard and all?
I cannot offer you diamonds
and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you clothes
that a rich man might give
But if you say that you long
to forever be mine
Think of the heartaches, the tears,
and the sorrows you've saved.
While I am writing this letter,
I think of the past,
And of the promises
that you are breaking so brave.
And to this whole world
I'll soon say my farewell at last.
I will be gone when you read
this last letter from me.
When you are lonely and tired
of another man's gold.
When you are weary,
remember this letter, my own
Don't try to answer, I've suffered,
and anguish unfold
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 of the promises
that you are breaking so free.
And to this old world
I'll soon say my last farewell
I will be gone when you read
this last letter brought me
