The Lover's Return (Live, Los Angeles, CA 1977-1979)

So you've come back to me at last

Since time once more has set you free

And asked again this heart of mine

As early hopes were bound in me

Come close and let me see your face

Chestnut locks as strong as snow

And yet it is the same dear face

I loved so fondly long ago

The same face on one summer's night

Bent over low and kissed my brow

Loved you oh so dearly then

That's all passed over now

Oh no, I cannot take your hand

God never gives us back our years

The love and youth we trusted in

Is yours, my dear, in perfect truth

And yet I think I love you still

As friend loves friend, I love you dear

God take you down life's darkened path

To where the skies are bright and clear

God take you down life's darkened path

To where the skies are bright and clear
