(Mickey Cates)

They married back in '32
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 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 them.

Their children all turned out just fine
So he retired in '69
And left with oh so, little time
Between the two of them.

Today I brave the graveyard rain
And placed a rose between their names
Now that's the most that ever came
Between the two of them.

And 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...
