When she kissed her love goodbye
She had broken their en gagement,
and he asked the reason why.
I have someone else, my darling,
and he means the world to me.
That is why I'm asking of you
Forgive me, dear, and set me free
Then he whispered, oh, so sadly
As the tears they filled his eyes
And her heart was full of pity,
For she took him by surprise.
If it's true you love another
Better, dear, than you love me
Dear, I want you to be happy,
so I'll forever set you free.
Though you leave me for another,
I hope we'll meet again someday.
In that far -off land up yonder
Where our love won't end this way
Where our love won't end this way
