Tell Me The Old, Old Story
Composer(s): Richard L. Weaver



There's a question ever new sweetheart I would ask of you 
Will you tell me once again the story dear 
... It's the theme of life's sweet song, as the ages roll along 
Making sunshine when the clouds seem near 
... In the days of "Auld Lang Syne" those sweet days when you were mine 
Many hours we pass'd together by the mill 
... Time has chang'd us both since then, but I've wandered back again 
For your answer that you love me still

Now the birds as sweetly sing 
'Round the ivy cover'd spring
As they did for us sweetheart in time before 
And I'm waiting here today, fondly hoping you will say 
That you love me as you did of yore 
... When I've travell'd far and near 
There was naught in life to cheer 
All the world is shadow'd dearest without you
And for each fond joy apart 
I've the longing in my heart for that dear old story ever new...

Tell me the old, old story, that you love me as of yore
... Others strive for fame and glory 
I'm content with your love evermore 
... Time can never change you sweetheart 
With your eyes of violet blue 
... I'm waiting to be told, the story sweet and old 
You love me still as I love you
