They were standing by the window On the night he kissed her cheek He had waited long in silence Waited long for her to speak When at last he whispered softly As the cool breeze kissed her head She had waited long to tell him What they told her he had said Oh they say you love another That you never did love me If these words be true my darling I'll forever set you free They were standing in the moonlight When he kissed his love goodbye He had broken their engagement For to her he told a lie I have someone else my darlin' I know I proved to be untrue That is why I'm asking of you Will you please forgive me, too Tho' his heart was full of pity For he took her by surprise Then she murmured, oh so sadly As the tears they filled her eyes If it's true you love another That you never did love me Dear, I want you to be happy I'll forever set you free Tho' you leave me broken hearted I hope we'll meet again someday In that [? ] home up yonder There, our love won't end this way
