And so you have come back to me,
Since time alone has set you free,
And you've offered me again the love
I craved so fondly years ago.
And so you have come back to me,
Since time alone has set you free,
And you've offered me again the love
I craved so fondly years ago.

Come close that I may see you now;
Your chestnut hair is touched with snow.
Oh, happy years of trust and love--
Ah well, 'tis all over now.
Oh, happy hours of trust and love--
Ah well, 'tis all over now.

Oh, no, you need not speak the words,
Those worldly words of trust and truth,
For woman's love is always true;
God never gives us back our youth.
Oh, no, you need not speak the words,
Those worldly words of love and truth,
For woman's love is always true;
God never gives us back our youth.

Farewell, I think I love you yet,
As friends loves friends, God bless you, dear.
God guide you on life's busy paths
To where the skies are ever fair.
Farewell, I think I love you still,
As friends loves friends, God bless you, dear.
God guide you on life's busy paths
To where the skies are ever fair.
