You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you so I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you and went back to the wild side of life

Yes it hurts me to know that you don't love me though I know our love's forever gone
And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long
[ piano ]
I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you
And dream of kisses you traded for my tears
And no one will ever know how much I love you
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years
I didn't know God made
