[Verse 1]
DThey were standing by a window A7on the night he kissed her DcheD7ek
GHe had waited long in siDlence waA7ited long for her to Dspeak
When at last she whispered softly A7as the cool breeze kissed her DcheD7ek
GShe had waited long to Dtell him A7what they told her he had Dsaid
DOh they say you love another A7that you never did love Dme D7
GIf these words be true my Ddarling A7I'll forever set you Dfree

G D D
[Verse 2]
DThey are truly part the answer A7as the shining stars DaboD7ve
GWhen they told you my intDention A7then they told you of my Dlove
DHe turned deathly pale and angry A7left her standing by the DgaD7te
GSent a message by her Dsister A7but the message came too Dlate
DGod in heaven sent an angel A7to relieve her aching DpaD7in
GShe went drifting off to Dheaven A7on an angel's snow white Dwing
[Break]
E E7 A A7 D D
[Outro]
DHe was standing by her casket A7as he looked upon her DfacD7e
GThen he realized that he Dloved her A7and no one could take her Dplace
