Lover's Return Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

And so you have come back to me 

And say the old love's growing yet 

You tried through all these weary years 

You 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 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 us back our youth 

The loving heart you slighted then 

Was yours my friend in perfect truth
