D (D7) G You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you A7 D You asked me not to call you on the phone (D7) G But there's something I'm wanting to tell you A7 D So I wrote it in the words of this song. Chorus: (D7) G I Didn't know God made honky tonk angels A7 D I might have known you'd never make a wife D7 G You gave up the only one that ever loved you A7 D And went back to the wild side of life. The glamor of the gay night life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flows Where you wait to be anybody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever know. Repeat chorus: It hurt 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. 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 loved you, And I pray that you'll be happy through the years. Repeat chorus:
