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
