They were standing in the moonlight When she kissed her love goodbye

She had broken their engagement And he asked the reason why

I found someone else, my darling And it means the world to me

That is why I'm asking of you Forgive me, dear, and set me free

Then she whispered oh so sadly As the tears did fill her eyes

And his heart was full of pity For he took her by the pride

Though you leave me for another I hope we'll meet again

Someday in that bar of sweet forever There our love won't end this way
