Darling, I received your last long letter
And enclosed I found a petal from the rose
That I picked and placed within your hair
Dear, when we strolled beneath the moon-beams 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
Your happiness in life sweetheart, you say, is through
And that you regret the day you left me
And broken my heart to change an old love for the new
With aching heart in tears I write this letter
Old mem'ries I could never, never cast away
I forgive you and you'll find me waiting
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
