Broken Engagement
by the Louvin Brothers
 
C                              G7                         C  C7
They were standing by a window on the night he kissed her cheek
F                       C       G7                   C
He had waited long in silence waited long for her to speak
                                  G7                            C  C7
When at last she whispered softly as the cool breeze kissed her cheek
F                      C        G7                        C
She had waited long to tell him what they told her he has said
                             G7                      C  C7
Oh they say you love another that you never did love me
F                         C       G7                   C
If these words be true my darling I'll forever set you free
 
                               G7                   C  C7
They are truly part the answer as the shining stars above
F                        C      G7                    C
When they told you my intention then they told you of love
                                 G7                       C C7
He turned deathly pale and angry left her standing by the gate
F                     C      G7                      C
Sent a message to her sister but the message came to late
                            G7                    C C7
God in heaven sent an angel to relieve her aching pain
F                        C      G7                       C
She went drifting off to heaven on an angel's snow white wing
 
                              G7                    C  C7
He was standing by her casket as he looked upon her face
F                        C         G7                        C
Then he realized that he loved her and no one could take her place
