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