Now that's the most that ever came
When work grew scarce and times got bad
Between the two of them
The 40's came and the 50's went
They made the most of each day spent
And the mortgage replaced the rent
Today I brave the graveyard rain
So he retired in '69
And the pleasure of just growing up
And hope was sometimes all they had
And though I miss them, oh, so much
Between the two of them
The hope would chase away the sad
And placed a rose between their names
Between the two of them
Between the two of them
His crooked smile her gentle touch
And left with, oh, so little time
And every day the feeling grew
Between the two of them
Their children all turned out just fine
