The Answer to the Last Letter' Songtext
von Ray Price

I just received your last letter and I feel so blue
I′m paying dearly for promises broken so free
I never dreamed that there'd be such a longing for you
But I′m been no angel so I've got what's coming to me
I am so weary and tired of another′s caress
Though I would love to be with you I know it′s too late
But I still love you and that is one thing I'll confess
I know I deserve to be punished whatever my fate
[ fiddle ] I′d give all these diamonds if I could be happy again
And have you hold me and tell me that we'd never part
Diamonds can never replace a true sweetheart or friend
All of this glamor can′t banish the ache in my heart
All I have left is a dream of the days that are gone
All I have left is a mem'ry that never will fade
If you must leave me to suffer life′s heartaches alone
I ask your forgiveness for all the mistakes I have made
