Tommy Collins - Broken Engagement Lyrics

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 surprice

I have promised you my darling so that I may tell you all

Hear those vows by angels driften are forever past recall

For they say you love another that you never did love me

If those cruel words are through dear I'll forever set you free

[ guitar ]

Yes it's true he answered hostly through by yonder stars above

To decieve 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
