B                            E
The years creep slowly by Lorena
F#7                    B
Snow is on the grass again
                          E
The sun is sinking low Lorena
F#7                              B
Frost is where the flowers have been

The music's sad and low Lorena
Happy sounds have left the day
The banjo's softly playing Lorena
Where once they rang so loud and gay

I hardly feel the cold Lorena
I pray this darkness soon will pass
We'll sing those songs again Lorena
You'll be in my arms at last
