I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only

Than have you say you're sorry that we are apart

I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only

Than to be in your arms but never in your heart



Well I've just received your letter you asked me to come home

You say you're sorry that you went away

This is an old old story and I've heard it all before

So darlin' this is all that I can say



I tried so hard my darlin' to make you love me then

'Cause you would always leave me here alone

And although I could forgive you things would be the same

Nothing could ever change your heart of stone
