You Broke My Heart To Pass The Time Away
Composer(s): Leo Wood; Joe Goodwin
Performer(s): Manuel Romain; Henry Burr



You've said goodbye and everything is over now it seems 
And all you left behind for me were dreams, just shattered dreams
For you were all I had, the only happiness I knew
You went away without a word, you proved your love untrue

I see you as I saw you on the day we two first met
You seemed as an angel from above your smile I can't forget
The smiles that made me think, perhaps, some day for me you'll care
The smile that promised untold joy, but left me in despair

You never meant the kisses that you gave me
I've paid with tears for every bit of joy
You made a plaything of my heart, the heart I gave to you
You broke it like a child would break a toy
The love you gave was like a fading flower 
The kind of love that lives for just a day 
But forgive you, dear, I will
God knows, I love you still
Tho' you broke my heart, to pass the time away
