MARRIED BACK IN '42
THEY WERE YOUNG
AND LOVE WAS NEW
AND EVERY DAY
THE FEELIN' GREW
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
WHEN WORK
GREW SCARCE AND
TIMES GOT BAD
THE HOPE WOULD
CHASE AWAY THE SAD
AND HOPE WAS
SOMETIMES ALL
THEY HAD BETWEEN
THE TWO OF THEM
THE FIFTIES CAME
AND THE SIXTIES WENT
A MORTGAGE NOTE
REPLACED THE RENT
AND THEY MADE
THE MOST
OF EACH DAY SPENT
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
THE CHILDREN ALL
TURNED OUT JUST FINE
HE RETIRED IN '89
LEFT WITH
OH SO LITTLE TIME
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
THE DAY I BRAVED
THE GRAVEYARD RAIN
AND PLACED A ROSE
BETWEEN THEIR NAMES
NOW THAT'S THE MOST
THAT EVER CAME
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
AND THOUGH I MISS
THEM BOTH SO MUCH
HIS CROOKED SMILE
HER GENTLE TOUCH
AND THE PLEASURES
OF JUST GROWIN' UP
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
AND THOUGH I MISS
THEM BOTH SO MUCH
HIS CROOKED SMILE
HER GENTLE TOUCH
AND THE PLEASURES
OF JUST GROWIN' UP
BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM
