Just an old couple

He's been working at that old saw mill
His rough hands worked hard to pay all the bills
His working friends have been moving on
But he still carries on.
In the job that he does with such pride

She's worked at that hospital for many years
Her hair's grown grey and her eyes full of cares
She loves her job and looks forward to each day
But she cries sometimes
When someone passes away.

They're just an old couple with love in their eyes
Sharing each moment and paying the price
The wonder of life sometimes seems so cold
But they don't care to mention, that they're growing old
But she notices: he's tired again tonight

Now his work is done, he leaves that life
He checks out for the last time No more strife.
Stops at the store and buys a flower boquet
To cover his fear
Of life without work everyday.

The flowers on the table bring forth a tear
When she comes home, he's just sitting there
The man that she married is as handsome today
As when they walked down the aisle
On their wedding day

But he notices: she forgot to comb her hair today.

And they notice, they're still in love.
