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