Lyrics
Take me in your arms again
Hold me to your heart
Kiss me soft and tender
Take me back again
Promise you will love me true
I will promise too
Sealed with sweet surrender
Take me back again
Once we love this before
That was long ago
I am so much wiser now
I won’t let you go
All the pain I’ve brought you, then
I’ll make up to you
Darling if you’ll only
Take me back again
