               BROKEN ENGAGEMENT

                  They were standing in the moonlight
                  When he kissed his love good-bye
                  He had broken their engagement
                  And she asked the reason why

                  I have someone else my darling
                  And she means the world to me
                  That is why I'm asking of you
                  Forgive me please and set me free

                  Then she whispered oh so sadly
                  As the tears they filled her eyes
                  And his heart was full of pity
                  For he took her by surprise

                  If it's true you love another
                  Better dear than you love me
                  Dear I want you to be happy
                  I'll forever set you free

                  Thou you leave me for another
                  I hope we'll meet again someday
                  In that far off home up yonder
                  There our love won't end this way
