Between the Two of Them

They married back in '32

They were young and love was new

And every day the feeling grew

Between the two of themWhen 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 themThe 40's came and the 50's went

And the mortgage replaced the rent

They made the most of each day spent

Between the two of themTheir children all turned out just fine

So he retired in '69

And left with, oh, so little time

Between the two of themToday I brave the graveyard rain

And placed a rose between their names

Now that's the most that ever came

Between the two of themAnd though I miss them, oh, so much

His crooked smile her gentle touch

And the pleasure of just growing up

Between the two of them
