Dear Melinda, I'm writing this note
To let you know just how I feel
We've let it drag on for so long
And it's gone so wrong
That it just seems unreal
And if you don't love me by now
I guess you never will
In the beginning it all seemed so easy
To get you to smile and to laugh
But lately your eyes have grown cold
And the looks that they give me cut me in half
When did our bright future become our dark past?
I wish I knew what I could say, Melinda
To make you change your mind and turn to stay
I know you've deceived me
I know you will leave me
But darlin' before you go
There's something that I have to say
Before you get away with your secret in tow
You may think that you've kept me fooled
But I've always known
I wish I knew what I could say, Melinda
To make you change your mind and turn to stay
Dear Melinda, I'm writing this note
To let you know just how I feel
We've let it drag on for so long
And it's gone so wrong
That it just seems unreal
And if you don't love me by now
I guess you never will
Dear Melinda
