I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me always
Than to have you say you're sorry that we are apart
I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me always
Than to be in your arms but never in your heart

I just received your letter and you asked me to come home
You say you're sorry that you went away
This is an old old story I've heard it all before
So darling this is all that I can say

* Refrain

I tried so hard my darling to make you love me then
But you would always leave me here alone
Although I could forgive you but things would be the same
And love could never change your heart of stone

* Refrain
