Lorena - Bobby Horton

The years creep slowly by, Lorena

The snow is on the grass again

The sun’s low down the sky, Lorena

The frost gleams where the flowers have been

But the heart throbs on as warmly now

As when the summer days were nigh

The sun can never dip so low

A-down affection’s cloudless sky.

The sun can never dip so low

A-down affection’s cloudless sky.

A hundred months 'twas flowery May

When up the hilly slope we climbed

To watch the dyin' of the day

And hear the distant church bells chime

To watch the dyin' of the day

And hear the distant church bells chime

It matters little now, Lorena

The past is in eternal past

Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena

Life’s tide is ebbing out so fast

There is a future, O'!

Thank God!

Of life this is so small a part

'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod

But there, up there 'tis heart to heart

'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod

But there, up there 'tis heart to heart
