Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]BEL[C]IEV[G]E[A][G][D][G][E][A][D][G]
[D]ME FOR [G]THOSE EN[C]DEARING YOUNG CHILDREN
[D]Which I [G]gaze on [D]so fondly [G]today
Were to [D]change [G]by tomorrow
An[C]d fleet in my arms
Like [G]fairy [D]gifts [G]fading away
Thou wouldst still be adored
As this moment [C]thou art,
Let [G]thy loveliness [D]fade as [G]it will,
An[D]d a[G]round the dear ruin
[C]Each wish of my heart
Would entwine [G]it [D]self verdantly [G]still.

[Verse 2]
[D]It [G]is not while beauty
and [C]youth are thine own
And [G]thy cheeks un[D]profaned by a [G]tear,
That [D]the [G]fervor [D]and [G]faith of a [C]soul can be known,
To which time [G]will [D]but make
thee more [G]dear.
No, the heart that has truly loved
never [C]forgets
but [G]has truly loved [D]on to [G]the close.
[D]As the sun [G]blue flower turns on
her guard [C]when he sets,
The same [G]look which he [D]turned when he [G]rose.
