Your letter came this very day
And it wiped all my dreams away
I've read it o'er a thousand times
It's left me with a worried mind
I wonder why you said goodbye
And did you mean to make me cry?
I guess until the day I die
That I will still be wondering why
Oh, Pete Mitchell
I'd rather thought that we are through
And that you found somebody new
I love you now I always will
I'd rather die than say farewell
I wonder why you said goodbye
And did you mean to make me cry?
I guess until the day I die
That I will still be wondering why
Oh, Johnny Cox
I hope and pray before my time
That you'll come back and say you're mine
Bring back the love you took away
And mend the heart you broke today
I wonder why you said goodbye
And did you mean to make me cry?
I guess until the day I die
That I will still be wondering why
