[00:00.137]And so you have come back to me
[00:06.517]And say the old love's growing yet
[00:12.357]You tried through all these weary years
[00:18.304]You tried too vainly to forget
[00:23.698]Oh no  I cannot take your hand
[00:29.895]God never gives us back our youth
[00:35.659]The loving heart you slighted then
[00:41.485]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[01:09.746]Come close and let me see your face
[01:16.036]Your raven hair is tinged with snow
[01:21.875]Oh yes  it is the same dear face
[01:27.802]I loved so many years ago
[01:33.143]Oh no  I cannot take your hand
[01:39.395]God never gives us back our youth
[01:45.277]The loving heart you slighted then
[01:51.040]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[02:19.007]Farewell  I think I love you yet
[02:25.250]As friend to friend God bless you dear
[02:31.031]And guide you through these weary years
[02:36.967]To where the skies are always clear
[02:42.375]Oh no  I cannot take your hand
[02:48.586]God never gives us back our youth
[02:54.381]The loving heart you slighted then
[03:00.159]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
[03:28.616]Oh no  I cannot take your hand
[03:34.828]God never gives us back our youth
[03:40.663]The loving heart you slighted then
[03:46.561]Was yours my friend in perfect truth
