Clark Sisters 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
When work grew 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
A mortgage note replaced the rent
They made the most of each day spent
Between the two of them
The children all turned out just fine
And he retired in '69
Left with oh so little time
Between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain
And 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
His crooked smile, her gentle touch
And the pleasure of growing up
Between the two of them
What a pleasure just growing up
Between the two of them
