Broken Engagement Lyrics - Singles - Tommy Collins

They were standing by a window 

As the night winds kissed her cheek 

And he'd waited long in silence 

Waited long for her to speak 

Till at last she murmured sadly 

As she raised her tearful life 

With a look so full of anguish 

That had filled him with surprise 

I have promised you my darling 

So that I may tell you all 

Hear those vows by angels 

Drifted are forever past recall 

For they say you love another 

That you never did love me 

If those cruel words are true 

Dear, I'll forever set you free 

Yes, it's true he answered hostly 

Through by yonder stars above 

To deceive I nearly tended 

When I told you of my love 

Fare thee well, he added gently 

As he sees her outstretched hands 

Covered in with burning kissed 

Whispering God will understand 

God in mercy sent an angel 

To relive her from all care 

For he knew the way what sorrow was 

Far more than she could bear 

She was taken home to heaven 

To the mansions of the bless 

Where the sad heart knows no aching 

And the weary are at rest
