    Beli[A]eve me, if all those e[D]ndearing young [F#dim7]charms
    Which I [A]gaze on so [E]fondly [A]today,
    [E7]Were to [A]change by tomorrow and [D]fleet in my [F#dim7]arms,
    Like [A]fairy wings [E]fading [A]away
    Thou wouldst still be adored, as this [D]moment thou art,
    Let thy [A]loveliness [E]fade as it [A7]will;
    [E7]And ar[A]ound the dear ruin each [D]wish of my [F#dim7]heart
    Would [A]entwine itself [E]Verdantly [A]still.

    It is [A]not while beauty and [D]youth are thine [F#dim7]own,
    And thy [A]cheeks unpro[E]faned by a [A]tear,
    [E7]That the [A]fervor and faith of a [D]soul can be [F#dim7]known,
    To which [A]time will but [E]make thee more [A]dear.
    No, the heart that has truly loved [D]never forgets,
    But as [A]truly loves [E]on to the [A7]close:
    [E7]As the [A]sunflower turns on her [D]God when He [F#dim7]sets
    The same [A]look which she [E]turned when He [A]rose.
