Words & Music by C.E. "Hank" Snow
|
|
Last night by my window so lonely,
|
As I mentioned your name in my prayers,
|
It seemed I could hear your voice calling
|
From far out on that ocean of stars.
|
You whispered my name and I saw you
|
Descending to me from on high.
|
I had fallen asleep and was dreaming,
|
Then awoke, hung my troubled head and cried.
|
|
CHORUS
|
You played love on the strings of my heart dear,
|
When you whispered "I love only you, just you",
|
But you broke ev'ry promise little darling,
|
Now the strings on my heart are broken too.
|
Oh why did you have to deceive me,
|
Oh why did you prove so untrue, I'm blue,
|
Ev'ry string on my heart you have broken,
|
And darling my heart is broken too.
|
|
Then I dreamed of a golden tomorrow,
|
Of a life filled with treasures for you, just you,
|
As the moon kissed the gold in your curls dear,
|
You told me you'd always be true.
|
But the dawn broke your vows little darling,
|
I know I can never have you, we're thru',
|
For that old rising sun then awoke me
|
So weary in my mind and still blue.
|
|
