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 beautiful bouquet
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
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 beautiful bouquet
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
