You Broke the Chain That Held Our Hearts
Hank Snow
You broke the chain that held our hearts
Each link of love you wasted too
You told our friends, each one you met, darlin'
That I had turned my back on you
You broke the chain that held our hearts
And tied it to another love
You left your lonesome daddy here, darlin'
To pine beneath the stars above
That same old moon is shining down
Upon the place we used to be
He seems to know that you were wrong darlin'
And you should drift on back to me
A rose entwined in hair of gold
A twinkle in two eyes of blue
A heart that once beat just for me darlin'
Are only memories now of you
They say your new love treats you fine
And you were never meant for me
But if perchance that new love fails you'll find me
Still waiting where you set me free
