Darling I received your last long letter
And enclosed I found the petal from a rose
That I picked and placed in your hair dear

When we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago
You say that you can understand today dear
Why in tears I told you when you went away

Now you're leaving and I'll be so lonely
Like a faded petal from a


You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted
Our happiness in life sweetheart you say it's through
And that you regret the day you left me

And broke my heart to change an old love for the new
With aching heart and tears I write this letter
Cold memories I could never never cast away

Forgive you and you'll find me waiting
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
