Lover's Return - Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

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

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

Farewell, I think I love you 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 is back our youth

The lovin' heart you slighted then

Was yours, my friend in perfect truth

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
