Verse 1
So Your New Love Left You Feeling Sad And Blue
And It Broke Your Heart In Two To See Him Go
Now You Know The Lonely Nights That I Went Through
And I'm Glad That I Can Say I Told You So
Verse 2
When You Cry Yourself To Sleep, Remember Me
Think Of All The Things I Told You Long Ago
You Know How It Feels To Be A Used-To-Be
And I'm Glad That I Can Say I Told You So

Now That Someone's Broke Your Heart, You Realize
That The Time Has Come To Reap Just What You Sowed
For Somebody Else Told You The Same Old Lie
And I'm Glad That I Can Say I Told You So
Verse 4
When You Miss The Happiness You'll Never Find
Think Of Me Each Time The Bitter Teardrops Flow
But You Had No Mercy On This Heart Of Mine
And I'm Glad That I Can Say I Told You So

And I Believe You Meant Them Until Now
Now, My Eyes Are Open And My Heart Is Closed To You

For You Don't Know The Meaning Of A Vow

Intro
Chorus
Just An Old Faded Photograph Of You
One I Always Will Treasure More Than Gold
It Always Keeps My Memories Same As New, Dear
A Keepsake Of A Love That Won't Grow Old
Though The Old Faded Photograph Is Dim
In My Heart, There's A Picture Same As New
As The Years Go Passing By, All Alone, I Sit And Cry
Over An Old Faded Photograph Of You
Steel Guitar Solo
Verse
Wherever I May Be At Any Time
Your Picture Always Hangs Upon The Wall
It Keeps Reminding Me Of Bygone Times
Can I Help It If The Teardrops Fall?
Chorus
Just An Old Faded Photograph Of You
One I Always Will Treasure More Than Gold
It Always Keeps My Memories Same As New, Dear

As The Years Go Passing By, All Alone, I Sit And Cry
Over An Old Faded Photograph Of You

Why Do You Treat Me As If I Were Only A Friend?
What Have I Done That Makes You So Different And Cold?
Sometimes, I Wonder If You'll Be Contented Again
Will You Be Happy When You Are Withered And Old?
Verse 2
I Cannot Offer You Diamonds And Mansions So Fine
I Cannot Offer You Clothes That Your Young Body Craves
But If You'll Say That You Long To Forever Be Mine
Think Of The Heartaches, The Tears And The Sorrow You'll Save
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
When You Are Weary And Tired Of Another Man's Gold
When You Are Lonely, Remember This Letter My Own
Don't Try To Answer, Though I Suffer Anguish Untold
If You Don't Love Me, I Wish You Would Leave Me Alone
Verse 4
While I Am Writing This Letter, I Think Of The Past
And Of The Promises That You Are Breaking So Free
But To This World, I Will Soon Say My Farewell At Last
I Will Be Gone When You Read This Last Letter From Me

So Go Your Way, My Darling, I Know I Don't Mind
And If You Call That Gone, Goodbye

You Don't Love Me, But I Knew It All Along
Now, I Don't Know Or Care Just Where You're Going
But If You Call That Gone, Goodbye
