Linda Ronstadt Lover's Return written by A.P. Carter G D And so you have come back to me G And say the old loves growing yet G C G You've tried through all these weary years D G You've tried too vainly to forget D Oh no I cannot take your hand G God never gives us back our youth C G The loving heart you slighted then D G Was yours my friend in perfect truth
G D Come close and let me see your face G Your raven hair is tinged with snow C G Oh yes it is the same dear face D G I loved so many years ago D Oh no I cannot take your hand G God never gives us back our youth C G The loving heart you slighted then D G Was yours my friend in perfect truth G D Farewell I think I love yet G As friend to friend God bless you dear C G And guide you through these weary years D G To where the skies are always clear D Oh no I cannot take your hand G God never gives us back our youth C G The loving heart you slighted then D G Was yours my friend in perfect truth G D Oh no I cannot take your hand G God never gives us back our youth C G The loving heart you slighted then D G Was yours my friend in perfect truth
