Lover's Return

(A.P. Carter - Maybelle Carter - Sara Carter)



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.



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 is back our youth

The loving heart you slighted then

Was yours my friend in perfect truth.



--- Instrumental ---



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 clear.



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
