American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 Douglas Tender And True

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4

Douglas! Tender and True.

Could you come back to me, Douglas ! Douglas!
In the old likeness that I knew,
I'd be so faithful, so loving, Douglas!
Douglas! Douglas! tender and true.

Never a scornful word should pain you,
I'd smile as sweet as the angels do,
Sweet as your smile on me shone ever,
Douglas! Douglas! tender and true;
Douglas! Douglas! tender and true.

Oh! to think of the hours that are not,
My eyes were blinded, your words were few;
Do you know the truth now up in heaven?
Douglas! Douglas! tender and true;
Douglas! Douglas! tender and true.

I was not half worthy of you, Douglas,
I was not worthy of the like of you;
Now all men beside are to me like shadows,
I love you, Douglas I tender and true;
I love you, Douglas 1 tender and true.

Stretch forth your band to me, Douglas! Douglas!
Drop forgiveness from heaven like dew.
As I lay my heart to thy dead heart, Douglas!
Douglas I Douglas! Douglas! tender ana true.
