Lover's Return Lyrics - Dolly Parton

And so you have come back to me 

And say the old love's growin' yet 

You've tried through all these weary years 

You've tried to vainly to forget 

Oh no, I cannot take your hand 

God never gives is back our youth 

The lovin' heart you slighted then 

Was yours, my friend in perfect truth 

Come close and let me see your face 

Your raven hair is tinged with snow 

Oh, yes, it is the same dear face 

I loved so many years ago

As friend to friend, God bless you dear 

And guide you through these weary years 

To where the skies are always clears
