C                          F
Your letter came this very day

Its left me with a worried mind

I love you now I always will

I'd rather die than say farewell

I hope and pray before my time

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

And mend the heart you broke today

I guess until the day I die
            C        G7        C
That I will still be wondering why
