[00:00.74]And so you have come back to me
[00:06.56]And say the old love's growing yet
[00:12.65]You tried through all these weary years
[00:18.71]You tried too vainly to forget
[00:24.16]Oh no I cannot take your hand
[00:30.27]God never gives us back our youth
[00:36.04]The loving heart you slighted then
[00:41.87]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[01:10.30]Come close and let me see your face
[01:16.41]Your raven hair is tinged with snow
[01:22.08]Oh yes it is the same dear face
[01:27.89]I loved so many years ago
[01:33.55]Oh no I cannot take your hand
[01:39.68]God never gives us back our youth
[01:45.04]The loving heart you slighted then
[01:51.28]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[02:19.60]Farewell I think I love you yet
[02:26.22]As friend to friend God bless you dear
[02:31.32]And guide you through these weary years
[02:37.12]To where the skies are always clear
[02:42.83]Oh no I cannot take your hand
[02:48.79]God never gives us back our youth
[02:54.59]The loving heart you slighted then
[03:00.43]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
