John McDermott – Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms lyrics
Believe me if all those endearing young charms:

Believe me if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away.
Though wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart,
Would entwine itself verdantly still.

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear.
No the heart which has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets,
The same look which she gave when he rose.

    John Mcdermott's songs are some of the most beautiful I know. The understanding given by his lyrics coupled with folk music as lovely always causes emotion in me. As my own mother nears the end of her life, it is even more touching, she and I having always been a little vain, and that we too have also shared an appreciation of the feelings John's songs generate, over the years- though neither of us would often say so. To me this song speaks of beauty in youth, maturity and until the last days of life, fresh cheeks as petals giving rise to an internal calm as we move to greet God. It is about saying goodbye and I will remember you with love, hasta maniana (until we meet again).

    I have corrected the spelling and punctuation, I hope the corrections will show shortly. I have listened to this song all my life and it pains me to see the lyrics so poorly submitted, that I had to make the necessary changes, so that any one singing, or reading the words, would express the original intent of the author.
