Lovers Return

And so you've come back to me
 And say the old love's growing, yeah
 You've tried through all these weary years
 You've tried too vainly to forget
 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
 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
 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
 Farewell, I think, I'll love yet
 As friend to friend, God bless you, dear
 And guide you through these weary years
 To where the skies are always clears
 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
 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
 Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth
 Yours, my friend, in perfect truth
