Alice And Roy |
Roy squeezed her hand Alice smiled at him |
The senior club special is a lot food for them |
They act like teenagers or the best of friends |
With one hundred-eighty years between the two of them |
Back during the war at a wild country-dance |
He thought she’d ignore him but he took the chance |
Fifteen songs later he still held her close |
And a million dances since then hasn’t been enough |
They wear love like lighting |
It’s something to see |
And the years of their true love |
Sits up on their sleeves |
Alice nudged Roy and points with her spoon |
There sits two young lovers across the crowded room |
You can tell by their look she say’s kind of giddy and flushed |
Roy grinned wry and wicked and Alice smiled and blushed |
They wear love like lighting |
It’s something to see |
And the years of their true love |
Sits up on their sleeves |
Roy gets a little misty Alice pats his hand |
He’s thinking bout the boy they lost in Vietnam |
And the girl he’d brought home, and then left behind |
And 40 years later she still sends cards at Christmastime |
They wear love like lighting |
It’s something to see |
And the years of their true love |
Sits up on their sleeves |
Roy said, «Remember Alice you almost burned your diary |
All those poems and love letters I sent from overseas |
Alice says» I couldn’t, even though I tried |
And I suppose the children will really be surprised." |
They wear love like lighting |
It’s something to see |
And the years of their true love |
Sits up on their sleeves |
Roy touched her face, Alice smiles at him |
Bowed her heads a moment and whispered «Amen» |
If you look a little sideways, I’m not sure what it means |
II swear it was an angel, that passed her the cream |
