American Old Time Song Lyrics: 10 The Last Link Is Broken
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 10
THE LAST LINK IS BROKEN.
The last link is broken that bound me to thee,
And the words thou hast spoken have render'd me free;
That bright glance misleading on others may shine,
Those eyes smiled unheeding when tears stream'd from mine.
If my love was deemed boldness the sorrow is o'er,
I've witnessed thy coldness, I prize thee no more;
I have not loved lightly, I'll think on thee yet,
I'll pray for thee nightly, 'till life's sun is set.
The heart thou hast broken once doted on thee,
And the words I have spoken proved sorrow to me;
Oh, hadst thou then treasured my words spoken free,
Thou could'st not have measured my own love to thee.
But oh, thou hast sorrowed the heart that was thine,
I'll return to thee borrowed, the one I thought mine;
I have not loved lightly, I'll think on thee yet,
I'll pray for thee nightly, 'till life's sun is set.
