  *++Lyrics:|\\
Today while I watched at my window at home\\
The raindrops that chased down each pane\\
Strange visions I saw as I sat there alone\\
Of youth's happy days again\\
I took from a box where for years it had laid\\
A package so dusty and so old\\
My Nellie's love letters in silence I read\\
When a fond relic fell from the fold\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
'Twas only her faded picture\\
I'll cherish it till I die\\
It calls back once more our youth golden hours\\
We were sweethearts Nell and I\\
\\
The same gentle face and the same eyes of blue\\
I fancy her voice I can hear\\
In tender tones repeat I loved thee my Jack,\\
I was false, you'll forgive my dear\\
The old tale that's told love don't sell for gold\\
In courtship both hearts must beat the same\\
My Nellie's love letters I'll read o'er and o'er\\
And her image I'll always retain\\
\\
