Broken Dreams

Intro: B7-E

E                            A 
I’m longing for you little darling, 
           B7                           E
For you promised that we’d never would part 
                              A
I’ve tried all in vain to forget you, 
         E           B7         E
Tho’ forever you’ll live in my heart 

        A                       E
I’d forget ev’ry tear I have shed dear 
                              B7 
For you ev’ry day that’s gone by 
        E                         A 
I’d forgive ev’ry heartache you caused me 
      E             B7          E
And each time that you made me cry. 
  
E                            A
As shadows of night steal around me 
         B7                        E
And the pale moon in heaven turns blue 
                            A
With tears in my eyes I am longing 
         E              B7         E
For the days when our romance was new. 

      A                      E 
They say you will soon wed another 
                               B7
But darling I’ll wait till the end 
     E                          A
And hope that someday you’ll return dear 
      E         B7        E
And start life all over again. 
  
E                                  A
The plans that we made have been broken 
     B7                  E
A garden, a cottage for two, 
                              A  
Golden curls in a cradle of rosewood 
      E                B7        E
Are dreams that will never come true. 

    A                           E
Although you have gone and I’m weary 
                           B7
And life is a failure it seems, 
         E                          A
Though sweetheart there’s one consolation 
           E                B7       E
You’ll be mine though it’s only in dreams.
