You're breaking my heart, we're drifting apart, as I knew at the start it would be
---------------------------------------------------------------
We're drifting apart you're breaking my heart
--------------------------------------------------------------
Herman was singing the lyric now, and this constituted the last straw.
'We've drifted apart.'
'You've broken my heart.'
'As I knew from the start it would be', howled Herman.
'As I knew from the ster-art it would be.'

The song "You're breaking my heart" by H. Melka, includes the lyric "we're drifting apart", but in the Ted Daffan's Texans record (Okeh 6729 / H667), there's no mention of "knew from the start".
In library catalogs, there is also a song by George A. Little and Larry Shay (1935) . But the compliance to the lyrics above need to be checked.
Maudie was a woman who seldom spoke unless spoken to, and any disposition Penny might have had towards small talk was checked by the wailing of Lord Vosper's reedy tenor. He was now singing something about 'You're breaking my heart, we're drifting apart, as I knew at the start it would be', and no girl who is headed for the altar with the wrong man can prattle when she hears that sort of thing.
Pigs have Wings. Chapter 5.2
I know one or two song writers and have found them among the most cheery of my acquaintances, ready of smile and full of merry quips and so forth. But directly they put pen to paper they never fail to take the dark view. All that 'We're-drifting-apart-you're-breaking-my-heart' stuff, I mean to say.
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit. Chapter 5
Herman was singing the lyric now, and this constituted the last straw.
'We've drifted apart.'
'How true', thought Monty.
'You've broken my heart.'
'Absolutely correct.'
'As I knew from the start it would be', howled Herman.
'As I knew from the ster-art it would be.'
Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin. Chapter 7.I
