The years creep slowly by, Lorena
Snow is on the grass again
The sun is sinking, Lorena
Frost is where the flowers have been
The music's saddened, Lorena
The music's saddened, Lorena
Happy sounds have left the day
The banjos softly play, Lorena
Where once they rang so loud again
I hardly feel a cold, Lorena
I know the darkness soon will pass
We'll see, Lorena
We'll sing our songs again, Lorena
You'll be in my arms at last
