Lorena Songtext
von 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
