Lover's Return

[Verse 1] And so you have come back to me And say the old loves growing yet You've tried through all these weary years You've tried too vainly to forget [Chorus] Oh no, I cannot take your hand God never gives is back our youth The loving heart you slighted then Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth [Verse 2] Come close and let me see your face Your raven hair is tinged with snow Oh, yes, it is the same dear face I loved so many years ago [Chorus] Oh no, I cannot take your hand God never gives is back our youth The loving heart you slighted then Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth [Verse 3] Farewell, I think I love you yet As friend to friend, God bless you dear And guide you through these weary years To where the skies are always clears [Chorus] Oh no, I cannot take your hand God never gives us back our youth The loving heart you slighted then Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth
