Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms

- Joni James

 

Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms

which I gaze on so fondly today

were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms

like fairy gifts fading away

Thou wouldst still be adored

as this moment thou art

let thy lovliness fade as it will

and around the dear ruin each wish of my heart

would entwine itself verdantly still

 

it is not while beauty and youth are thine own

and thy cheek unprofaned by a tear

that the fervor and faith of a soul can be known

to which time will but make thee more dear

oh the heart that has loved never truly forgets

but as truly lives on to the close

as the sunflower turns on her God as He sets

the same look that she gave when He rose
