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
