C
So you've come back to me at last
D G
Since time, once more, has set you free
C D
And asked again this heart of mine
G
As early hopes were bound in me
C
Come closer, let me see your face
D G
Chestnut locks as strong as snow
C
Yet it is the same dear face
D G
I loved so fondly long ago
C
The same face, on one Summer's night
D G
Bent over low and kissed my brow
C D
I loved you, oh, so dearly then
G
That's all passed over now
C
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
D G
God never gives us back our youth
C
The love and youth we trusted in
D G
Is yours, my dear, in perfect truth
INSTRUMENTAL: G C D G C D G
C D
And yet, I think I love you still
G
As friend loves friend, I love you dear
C
God take you down life's darkened path
D G
To where the skies are bright and clear
C
God take you down life's darkened path
D G
To where the skies are bright and clear
