Just A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet

Darling I received your last long letter

And enclosed I found the petal from a rose

That I picked and placed in your hair dear

When we strolled beneath the moonbeams 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 it’s through

And that you regret the day you left me

And broke my heart to change an old love for the new

With aching heart and tears I write this letter

Old memories I could never never cast away

I forgive you and you’ll find me waiting

Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
