A hundred months have passed, Lor 
C
ena,
D                              G 
Since last I held your hand in 
    D
mine,
    G                              
And felt your pulse beat fast, Lor 
C
ena,
       D                        
Though mine beat faster far than 
 G
thine.
     Em                        
Twas not thy woman's heart that

spoke;
Thy heart was always true to 
 Em       D
me-ee-ee:
   G               C
So long ago Lorena you broke
    D                             
The tie which linked my soul with 
G
thee

                              C
We loved each other then, Lor ena,

    D                          G  
Far more than we ever dared to 
   D
tell;
    G                            
And just what might we have been, 
     C
Lor ena,
D                              G
If our love had only prospered well
    Em                             
But should we even consider one re

gret
For what we?d be now we?ll neither 
      Em      D
never kno-oo- ow;
    G                    C
For if we try we may for get,
D                                 
We?re the words of thine long 
    G
years a go.

It matters little now, Lor ena,
    D                      G     D
The past is in the eternal past;
    G                              
Our heads will one day lie low, Lor

 ena,
D                            G
Life?s time is fading out so fast.

There is a Future O, thank God
Our lives this was so small a

'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod;
    D                         G
But there, up there, heart to heart.

          G                        
Still the years creep slowly by,

Lor ena,

The snow is on the ground a gain.
    G                           C
The sun?s low down the sky, Lor ena,
        D                          
And the frost again gleams where 
               G
the flow'rs have been.
