G                    C          D7                  G
They married back in forty-two  they were young and love was new

    Em            C             D7
And every day the feeling grew  between the two of them

G                         C
When work grew scarce and times got bad
 
    D7                G
The hope would chase away the sad

    Em                 C             D7                 G
And hope was sometimes all they had  between the two of them


                         C               D7              G
The fifties came and the sixties went  a mortgage note replaced the rent

    Em                    C               D7
And they made the most of each day spent  between the two of them

G                       C              D7            G
The children all turned out just fine  he retired in eighty-nine

     Em                C     D7                 G
Left with oh so little time  between the two of them


                   C                   D7            G
Today I braved the graveyard rain  and placed a rose between their names

    Em                   C          D7
But that's the most that ever came  between the two of them

G                  C             D7                    G
And oh I miss them both so much  his crooked smile her gentle touch

    Em                    C           D7                 G
And the pleasures of just growing up  between the two of them


               C             D7                    G
Oh I miss them both so much  his crooked smile her gentle touch

    Em                    C           D7                 G
And the pleasures of just growing up  between the two of them
