Between the Two of Them Lyrics

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 '40s came and the '50s went
And the mortgage note replaced the rent
And 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 braved 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
