Lover’s Return

Sara Carter, Maybelle Carter, A.P. Carter

[Verse 1]
And so you have come back to me
And say the old love's growing yet
You've tried through all these weary years
You've tried too vainly to forget

[Chorus]
No, 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

[Verse 2]
Farewell, farewell now we must part
You never meant to do me wrong
God sent this anguish to my heart
To teach me to be brave and strong

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
