They were standing in the moonlight when he kissed his love goodbye He had broken engagement and she asked the reason why I have someone else my darling and she mean the world to me That is why I'm asking of you dear leave me here and set me free The 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 ( guitar ) If it's true you love another better dear than you love me Dear I want you to be happy all forever set you free Though you leave me for another I hope we'll meet again someday In that far up home up yonder there our love will end this way
