They were standing in the moonlight

When he kissed his love goodbye

He had broken their engagement

For to her he told a lie



I have someone else my darlin'

I know I proved to be untrue

That is why I'm asking of you

Will you please forgive me, too



Tho' his heart was full of pity

For he took her by surprise

Then she murmured, oh so sadly

As the tears they filled her eyes



If it's true you love another

That you never did love me

Dear, I want you to be happy

I'll forever set you free



Tho' you leave me broken hearted

I hope we'll meet again someday

In that [ ? ] home up yonder

There, our love won't end this way
