John Hartford lyrics –

Oh the years creep slowly by, Lorena
Th' snow is on the ground again
The sun's low down the sky, Lorena
The frost gleams where the flowers have been

But the heart beats on as warmly now
As when the summer days were nigh
Oh the sun can never dip so low
To be down in affection's cloudless sky

[Instrumental]

A hundred months have passed, Lorena
Since last I held that hand in mine
And felt pulse beat fast, Lorena
Though mine beat faster far than thine

A hundred months 'twas flowery May
When up that hilly slope we climbed
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the distant church bells chime

[Instrumental]

We loved each other then, Lorena
Far more than we ever dared to tell
And what we might have been, Lorena
Had our lovin' prospered well

Then, 'tis part, the years roll on
I'll not call up their shadowy forms
I'll say to them, "Lost years, sleep on
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms."

[Instrumental]
