Darlin' I received your last long letter
D D7 D G
And enclosed I found a petal, from the rose
G7 C
That I picked and placed within your hair dear
D D7 D G
When we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago
G7 C
You say that you can understand today dear
D D7 D G
Why in tears I told you, when you went away
G7 C
Now you're leavin' and I'll be so lonely
D D7 G
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
G7 C
You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted
D D7 D G
Your happiness in life sweetheart, you say is through
G7 C
And that you regret the day you left me
D D7 D G
And broke my heart, to change, an old love for the new
G7 C
With aching heart in tears I write this letter
D D7 D G
Old mem'ries I could never, never cast away
G7 C
I forgive you and you'll find me waitin'
D D7 G G7
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
