Broken Engagement
They were standing by a windowAs the night winds kissed her cheekAnd he'd waited long in silenceWaited long for her to speakTill at last she murmured sadlyAs she raised her tearful lifeWith a look so full of anguishThat had filled him with surpriseI have promised you my darlingSo that I may tell you allHear those vows by angelsDrifted are forever past recallFor they say you love anotherThat you never did love meIf those cruel words are trueDear, I'll forever set you freeYes, it's true he answered hostlyThrough by yonder stars aboveTo deceive I nearly tendedWhen I told you of my loveFare thee well, he added gentlyLetras de cancionesAs he sees her outstretched handsCovered in with burning kissedWhispering God will understandGod in mercy sent an angelTo relive her from all careFor he knew the way what sorrow wasFar more than she could bearShe was taken home to heavenTo the mansions of the blessWhere the sad heart knows no achingAnd the weary are at rest
