Tell Me That You Love Me by The Carter Family Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We parted by the riverside
The moon looked down on you and me
The stars put on a look of pride
The river murmured to the sea
The dew drops kissed the blushing rose
The mournful winds did sigh
One word broke nature's sweet repose
That sad word was goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me that you love me yet
For, oh, this parting gives me pain
Please tell me that you'll not forget
For we may never meet again

[Verse 2]
We parted by the riverside
Though I have roamed in distant climes
My heart has not forgot its pride
For I have loved you all the time
And I am faithful to you still
As long as you are true
Let fate bring to me what it will
For I love you, only you
[Chorus][x2]
