They married back in '32 They were young and love was new And every day that feeling grew Between the two of them
When work grew scarce and times got bad Hope would chase away the sad Hope was sometimes all they had Between the two of them
The forties came and the fifties went A mortgage note replaced the rent They made the most of each day spent Between the two of them
The children all turned out just fine And he retired in '69 Left with oh so little time Between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain And placed a rose between their names That's the most that ever came Between the two of them
Though I miss them both so much His crooked smile, her gentle touch And the pleasure of growing up Between the two of them What a pleasure just growing up Between the two of them
