Dear, I read the letter that you left me Saying that you had to go A broken heart heartache's nothin' but blue days Just left here with tears, dear, to flow I thought I'd gain the whole wide world, my dear, when I met you Not dreamin' that somebody else might feel the same way too You made my life a pleasure and you'd turn my gray skies blue But now my soul is dying 'cause you say it's number two Yes dear, I read the letter that you left me Saying that you had to go A broken heart heartache's nothin' but blue days Just left here with tears, dear, to flow Oh, please accept these thanks, my dear, for being so kind to me It seemed all heaven smiled until you said you wasn't free My ship has sailed, my life has failed, my door is closed today Because the things I thought I had have all been taken away Yes dear, I read the letter that you left me Saying that you had to go A broken heart heartache's nothin' but blue days Just left here with tears, dear, to flow
