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 |
