Let Us Be Lovers Again - The Monroe Brothers/BILL/Charlie Monroe
Jack and May sweethearts were they
They were engaged to be wed
Many a promise he made her
Many a love word he said
As most lovers do
They quarreled one night
She bid him not come any more
She gave him his hat
Jack started away
But he lingered to say at the door
'Tis up these broken cords
And let us be lovers again
Darling you know I love you
To part would give me pain
Let us forget the past
And make up my pet
Make up and be lovers again
Years rolled by neither was wed
All of Jack's pleading was vain
One quiet evening poor
Jack was found dead
Two lives have been wrecked
For she loved oh too late
She goes to his grave every day
She can't tell you why
But it seems to her cry
The wind seems to whisper and say
'Tis up these broken cords
And let us be lovers again
Darling you know I love you
To part would give me pain
Let us forget the past
And make up my pet
Make up and be lovers again
'Tis up these broken cords
And let us be lovers again
Darling you know I love you
To part would give me pain
Let us forget the past
And make up my pet
Make up and be lovers again
