Nothing Time Can Do

Nothing Time Can Do

My heart remembers you,

Your presence lingers still;

There’s nothing time can do.

Forever is untrue,

Eternity is nil:

My heart remembers you.

Cruel Fate’s turned joy to rue;

Return, it never will:

There’s nothing time can do.

Old age I then beshrew,

For love it cannot kill—

My heart remembers you.

And as the years run through,

Regret shall have its thrill;

There’s nothing time can do.

My tears all run into

A hole they cannot fill;

My heart remembers you,

There’s nothing time can do.
