I Cheat the Hangman

[00:01.09] The days grow short, the nights are gone
[00:33.55] Since you were here, I can't go on
[00:38.80] I cried for you, to no avail
[00:43.51] Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
[00:48.79] But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
[00:55.31] The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
[01:00.02] Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
[01:05.10] I leave a kiss behind
[01:08.83] The rain that fell upon my stone
[01:14.37]
[01:23.55] Like tears you cry I shared alone
[01:28.80] I walk the night, I cannot sleep
[01:34.22] The love you spend you cannot reap
[01:38.92] But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
[01:45.35] The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
[01:50.02] Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
[01:55.36] I leave a kiss behind
[01:58.80] The glow of love will shine
[02:03.99] Lighted windows stare
[02:06.85] At the stranger there returning home
[02:11.58] Only lighted windows stare
[02:17.20] At the lonely stranger there returning home
[02:21.65] I leave a kiss behind
[02:26.86]
[03:38.84] The glow of love will shine
[03:44.04] Lighted windows stare
[03:47.14] At the stranger there returning home
[03:52.14] Only lighted windows stare
[03:57.38] At the lonely stranger there returning home
[04:48.35]
