Lovers Return Lyrics - Finley Quaye

And so you've come back to me 

And say the old love's growing, yeah 

You've tried through all these weary years 

You've tried too vainly to forget 

Oh, 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 

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 

Oh, 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 

Farewell, I think, I'll love yet 

As friend to friend, God bless you, dear 

And guide you through these weary years 

To where the skies are always clears 

Oh, 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 

Oh, 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 

Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth 

Yours, my friend, in perfect truth
