Lover's Return

[00:01.29] And so you have come back to me
[00:07.42] And say the old love's growing yet
[00:13.34] You tried through all these weary years
[00:19.28] You tried too vainly to forget
[00:24.45] Oh no, I cannot take your hand
[00:30.73] God never gives us back our youth
[00:36.63] The loving heart you slighted then
[00:42.38] Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[01:08.64]
[01:10.65] Come close and let me see your face
[01:16.65] Your raven hair is tinged with snow
[01:22.57] Oh yes, it is the same dear face
[01:28.52] I loved so many years ago
[01:34.01] Oh no, I cannot take your hand
[01:40.01] God never gives us back our youth
[01:46.04] The loving heart you slighted then
[01:51.86] Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[02:01.62]
[02:20.02] Farewell, I think I love you yet
[02:26.02] As friend to friend God bless you dear
[02:31.93] And guide you through these weary years
[02:37.61] To where the skies are always clear
[02:43.17] Oh no, I cannot take your hand
[02:49.32] God never gives us back our youth
[02:55.23] The loving heart you slighted then
[03:00.93] Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[03:06.45]
[03:29.98] Oh no, I cannot take your hand
[03:35.65] God never gives us back our youth
[03:41.49] The loving heart you slighted then
[03:47.14] Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[03:53.09]
