On a summer day in 1943
In a little church with just close family
Two lovers vowed with young and tender hearts
To have and to hold till death do they part
As the years rolled by they saw their children grown
Oh and he always said if one of us is left alone
Lets promise that we'll marry someone new
He promised her and she promised him too
CHORUS:
But she broke her promise, she never wanted another
Cause there's just no other who could ever come close
Their memries together will last her forever
She broke her promise she made so long ago
Now she keeps busy living all alone
In the little house that memories made a home
And the kids drop by to visit when they can
But only God knows how much she misses her man
CHORUS:
But she broke her promise, she never wanted another
Cause there's just no other who could ever come close
Their memories together will last her forever
She broke her promise but she knows he'd understand
In a little church with just close family
Two lovers vowed with young and tender hearts
To have and to hold till death do they part
As the years rolled by they saw their children grown
Oh and he always said if one of us is left alone
Lets promise that we'll marry someone new
He promised her and she promised him too
CHORUS:
But she broke her promise, she never wanted another
Cause there's just no other who could ever come close
Their memries together will last her forever
She broke her promise she made so long ago
Now she keeps busy living all alone
In the little house that memories made a home
And the kids drop by to visit when they can
But only God knows how much she misses her man
CHORUS:
But she broke her promise, she never wanted another
Cause there's just no other who could ever come close
Their memories together will last her forever
She broke her promise but she knows he'd understand
