I can't answer her letter
For she left me no address
You should know, my little darling
You left my poor heart in distress
I got a letter from my darling
She said she hated to go
It broke my heart, the words she wrote me
She closed by saying I love you so
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me
She said I never could be true
I've tried, I've tried, my little darling
To prove my love was just for you
I got a letter from my darling
She said she hated to go
It broke my heart, the words she wrote me
She closed by saying I love you so
The letter meant goodbye forever
Though we'll have each other's hearts
Our love will fade away in sadness
Precious one, why did we have to part?
I got a letter from my darling
She said she hated to go
It broke my heart, the words she wrote me
She closed by saying I love you so
