Lyrics
1. Memories so tender come stealing
Memories that ne'er depart
Love's old sweet story revealing
Just a story of the heart
Chorus:
Human hearts, human hearts
Tell a story so old
How my heart loved you fondly
But your own fickle heart grew cold
Though you're gone and I mourn
Yet there's one heart true as gold
For, no sweetheart can compare
With a mother's heart so true
Queen of human hearts
2. Sweetheart, my sweetheart, I miss you
Why did you go away?
Oh, how I'm longing to kiss you
Loving in the same old way
