They married back in forty-two they were young and love was new
And every day the feeling 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 eighty-nine
Left with oh so little time between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain and placed a rose between their names
But that's the most that ever came between the two of them
And oh I miss them both so much his crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasures of just growing up between the two of them
Oh I miss them both so much his crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasures of just growing up between the two of them
