A hundred months have passed, Lor ena,
D                              G     D
Since last I held your hand in mine,
    G                              C
And felt your pulse beat fast, Lor ena,
       D                         G
Though mine beat faster far than thine.

Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke;
                              Em       D
Thy heart was always true to me-ee-ee:
   G               C
So long ago Lorena you broke
    D                             G
The tie which linked my soul with thee

                              C
We loved each other then, Lor ena,

    D                          G     D
Far more than we ever dared to tell;
    G                                 C
And just what might we have been, Lor ena,
D                              G
If our love had only prospered well
    Em                             B7
But should we even consider one re gret
                                         Em      D
For what we?d be now we?ll neither never kno-oo- ow;
    G                    C
For if we try we may for get,
D                                     G
We?re the words of thine long years a go.

G                          C
It matters little now, Lor ena,
    D                      G     D
The past is in the eternal past;
    G                               C
Our heads will one day lie low, Lor ena,
D                            G
Life?s time is fading out so fast.
      Em                   B7
There is a Future O, thank God
                              Em        D
Our lives this was so small a par-aaar- art
     G                        C
'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod;
    D                         G
But there, up there, heart to heart.

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