Your Love's Return (Song for Stephen Foster)

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
I will not lose what I have won

For I must be forgiven now
Let me come in, my pretty one

Listen to them talkin' about your love's return
Open your eyes and look my way
Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall

Let me come in, my precious one
Hide all your tears as best you can
Wake from your sleep and take me home
I cannot leave your love alone
Bells in the steeple are ringing, singing
Climbing your windows and walls
Listen to them talkin' about your love's return

Try to recall what used to be
Climbing your windows and walls
And try to undo what I have done
Bells in steeple are ringing, singing
Leaves in the garden are falling, calling
Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
