And so you have come back to me And say the old love’s growing yet You’ve tried through all these weary years You’ve tried so vainly to forget 
Chorus Oh, no, I cannot take your hand God never gives us back our youth The trusting heart you slighted then Was yours, my friend, in perfect truth 
Farewell, farewell now we must part You never meant to do me wrong God sent this anguish to my heart To teach me to be brave and strong 
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 clear
