A Song
“Its years since you told me you loved me”
Its years since you told me you loved me
But alas you have broken your vow
My head it is bent down with sorrow
And my heart it is lonely just now
Give me back every fond word that was spoken
Let it be as if we never have met
And I will return every token
I'll forgive and I ll try to forget
Its well I remember the evening when
the moon through the valley did shine
Then a kiss and a ring and a token And you promised you would be mine.
Give me back every fond word that was spoken
Let it be as we never have met.
And I will return every token
I ll forgive and I ll try to forget
O yes I will return every token
Here is the ring and lock of your hair And a card with you photo upon it And you face just as false as its fair.
Give me back every fond word that was spoken
Let it be as we never had met(continues on next page)
