The Cox Family - Broken Engagement (1974 version) lyrics

They were standing by the window On the night he kissed her cheek He had waited long in silence Waited long for her to speak When at last he whispered softly As the cool breeze kissed her head She had waited long to tell him What they told her he had said Oh they say you love another That you never did love me If these words be true my darling I'll forever set you free They are true he hardly answered As the sun and stars above When they told you my intentions Then they told you of my love He turned d**hly pale and angry Left her standing by the gate Sent a message by her sister But the message came too late God in Heaven sent an Angel To relieve her ache and pain She went drifting off to Heaven On an Angel's snow white wing He was standing by her casket As he looked upon her face Then he realized he loved her And no one could take her place
