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
