Won't You Love Me As Of Old 1898

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Aug 2005

I am sad and lonely, dearest,
and I miss your smile so sweet;
had I all of earth's possessions,
I would lay them at your feet,
For one little word of love, dear,
for a love glance from your eye!
Oh, tell me, darling,
won't you love me,
as you did in days gone by?

Let me call you mine again, dear,
let me kiss your lips so sweet!
Let me breathe the tender message,
that I used to oft repeat,
Let the past be all forgotten,
and renew the love grown cold!
Can't you say that all's forgiven
Won't you love me as of old?

Those were golden, sunny days, dear,
when our lives with joy were blessed!
Won't you love me as of old, dear?
After all the old love's best!
Then no clouds ere came between us,
all was peaceful, calm and bright.
Oh, was it right that fate should sever,
bonds so sacred, hearts so light?

Let me call you mine again, dear,
let me kiss your lips so sweet!
Let me breathe the tender message,
that I used to oft repeat,
Let the past be all forgotten,
and renew the love grown cold!
Can't you say that all's forgiven
Won't you love me as of old?
