The Carter Family - Lover's Return lyrics

[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]
