Between The Two Of Them
They married back in '32
They were young and love was new
And every day that feeling grew
Between the two of them
Work got 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
Mortgage note replaced the rent
They made the most of each day spent
Between the two of them
The children all turned out fine
He retired in '69
Left with oh so little time
Between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain
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
Her crooked smile, his gentle touch
The pleasure of just growing up
Between the two of them
Entre os Dois
Eles se casaram em 32
Eram jovens e o amor era novo
E a cada dia esse sentimento crescia
Entre os dois
O trabalho ficou escasso e os tempos ficaram difíceis
A esperança afastava a tristeza
A esperança era às vezes tudo que tinham
Entre os dois
Os anos quarenta chegaram e os cinquenta se foram
A hipoteca substituiu o aluguel
Eles aproveitaram ao máximo cada dia vivido
Entre os dois
As crianças cresceram bem
Ele se aposentou em 69
Partiu com tão pouco tempo
Entre os dois
Hoje enfrentei a chuva do cemitério
Coloquei uma rosa entre os nomes deles
Isso foi o máximo que aconteceu
Entre os dois
Embora eu sinta falta de ambos
O sorriso torto dela, o toque suave dele
O prazer de simplesmente crescer
Entre os dois
