The Last Letter Songtext
von Willie Nelson

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, that your young body craves
But if you'll say that, you long to forever be mine
Just think of the teardrops, the heartaches, and sorrow you′ll save
While I am writing this letter, I think of the past
And of the promises, that you have broken so free
And to this old world, I'll soon say my farewell at last
I will be gone, when you read this last letter from me
