I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye

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

I dread the thought that we are through
And that you've 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

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
