I got your letter in the mail the other day
You had to say that you were leaving me
I can't believe the words I've read
I think that I'd rather be dead
Than to be this lonely
Oh Elaine, I think this love affair has gone much too far
Oh Elaine, we both could work it out
Please tell me where you are, Elaine
Elaine
I've tried and tried with all my heart
But you decided to depart and leave me standing here
Come to your senses, I need you
Please don't tell me that we're through
I need your love my dear
Oh Elaine, I think this love affair has gone much too far
Oh Elaine, we both could work it out
Please tell me where you are
Oh Elaine, my whole world's in little pieces
From the day that we met, I just can't forget
I know that someday we'll both be together
But right now I really can't say
