You've tried through all these weary years, Have tried, but vainly, to forget. So now you’ve come to me once more Since time at last has made you free, And offer me again the heart Whose earthly hopes were bound in me. Come closer, let me see you now, The chestnut locks that are touched with snow, But ‘tis the same, the dear old face I loved so fondly long ago— The same as on that summer day Bent over me and kissed my brow. Oh, happy trusting hour of love! Ah, well, it is all over now. No, no you must not take my hand. God never gives us back our youth. The love, the faith you asked for then Were yours, dear friend, in perfect truth. ‘Ere woman’s love and woman’s ways Wake doubt and anguish in my breast, You left me and my heart is dead No sound can disturb its rest. Forgive you? Do not speak the word, You never meant to do me wrong. God sent this anguish to my heart To help make me brave and strong. Farewell, I think I love you yet As friends love friends, God bless you, dear, And lead you through the coming years The where the sky is bright and clear. folk song Last Farewell So You've Come Back So You've Come Back to Me songs and music regret songs and music time You Say
