Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke;

Thy heart was always true to me-ee-ee:

So long ago Lorena you broke

The tie which linked my soul with thee

Far more than we ever dared to tell;

And just what might we have been, Lor ena,

If our love had only prospered well
Em B7
But should we even consider one re gret

We're the words of thine long years a go.

Our lives this was so small a par-aaar- art
