Tom: Am
C C7 F
Believe me if all those endearing young charms
C G C G7
Which I gaze on so fondly today
C C7 F
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms
C G C G7
Like fairy gifts fading away!
Am Dm F
Thou wouldst still be ador'd as this moment thou art
C G E7 G7
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
C C7 F
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
C G C
Would entwine itself verdantly still!
[Interlude]
C G C
[Verse 2]
C C7 F
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
C G C G7
And thy cheeks unprofan'd by a tear
C C7 F
That the fervour and faith of a love can be known
C G C G7
To which time will but make thee more dear!
Am Dm F
No! the heart that has truly lov'd, never forgets
C G E7 G7
But as truly loves on to the close
C C7 F
As the sun-flower turns on her God when he sets
C G C
The same look which she turn'd when he rose!
