  			THE LAST LETTER 
Words and music by Rex Griffin 
 
D Why do you treat me as if I were only a A friend 
What have I done that has made you so diff'-{A7} rent and D cold 
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be content-{D7} ed a-{G} gain 
A Will you be happy when you are wither-{A7} ed and D 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 
Think of the heartaches, the tears and the sorrows you'll save. 
 
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 though I suffer 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 of the promises that you are breaking so free 
But to this world I will soon say my farewell, at last 
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me. 
 
Repeat 1st verse.
