Tell me that you love me

1. We parted by the riverside,
D G
the
moon looked down on you and me.
G
The stars put on a look of
pride,
D G
the
river murmured to the sea.
C
G
The dew drop kissed a blushing
rose,
D
the
mournful wind did sigh.
G
One word broke nature's sweet
repose,
D G
that
sad word was goodbye.
G
Oh, tell me that you love me yet,
D G
for, oh, this parting gives me
pain.
G
Please, tell me that you'll not forget,
D G
for we may never meet again.
+ G - D - G (2x)

2. We parted by the riverside,
D
G
though
I have roamed in distant climes,
G
my
heart has not forgot its pride,
D G
for I
have loved you all the time.
C G
And I am faithful to you still,
D
as
long as you are true.
G
Let day each bring to me what
it will,
D G
for I
love you, only you.
G
Oh, tell me that you love me yet,
D G
for, oh, this parting gives me
pain.
G
Please, tell me that you'll not forget,
D G
for we may never meet again.
+ G - D - G (2x)
