You Broke The Chain That Held Our Hearts,
|
|
|
You broke the chain that held our hearts,
|
Each link of love you wasted too,
|
You told our friends, each one you met, darlin¡¯
|
That I had turned my back on you.
|
|
You broke the chain that held our hearts,
|
And tied it to another love,
|
You left your lonesome daddy here, darlin¡¯
|
To pine beneath the stars above.
|
|
That same old moon is shining down
|
Upon the place we used to be
|
He seems to know that you were wrong darlin¡¯
|
And you should drift on back to me.
|
|
A rose entwined in hair of gold.
|
A twinkle in two eyes of blue
|
A heart that once beat just for me darlin¡¯
|
Are only memories now of you.
|
|
They say your new love treats you fine
|
And you were never meant for me
|
But if perchance that new love fails you¡¯ll find me
|
I'm still waiting where you set me free.
