Oh, The yeAars creep slowly by, LorDena, The sEnow is on the ground agAain The sAun's low down the sky, LoDrena The frEost gleams where the flowers have bAeen But the F#mheart beats on as warmly C#now, As wC#hen the summer days were F#mnigh E A D *RIFF* E A Oh, The sun can never dip so low, To be down in affections cloudless sky

A huAndred months have passed, LoDrena, Since laEst, I held that hand in mAine And fAelt, The pulse beat fast, LoDrena, Though mEine, Beat faster far than tAhine A hF#mundred months this flowery C#May, When C#up that hilly slope we cF#mlimbed E To waAtch, The dying of the dDay, And hEear, The distant church bells chAime

We loAved each other then, LoDrena, Far mEore than we ever dared to tAell And wAhat we might have been, LoDrena, HEad our loving prospered wAell F#mThen 'tis past, The years roll C#on, I'll C#not call up their shadowy F#mforms E A D *RIFF* E A I'll say, To them lost years, Sleep on, Sleep on, Nor heed lifes pelting storms
