Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms
Misc Unsigned Bands
These are the same chords played by Andy Taylor,
while accompanying Rafe Hollister
On "The Andy Griffith Show"
C F Dm
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
C G C
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
C F Dm
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,
Am G C
Like fairy wings fading away
F C
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
G C
Let thy loveliness fade as it will;
F Dm
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
C G C
Would entwine itself fervently still.
C F Dm
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
C G C
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
F Dm
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
Am G C
To which time will but make thee more dear.
F C
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
G C
But as truly loves on to the close:
F Dm
As the sunflower turns on her God when He sets
C G C
The same look which she turned when He rose.
