1. My mother and my father were in love for 50 years,

D D7

so when dad died, we wondered why my mother shed no tears.

G - D

We asked her once about it, but she wouldn't tell us why.

G G7 C - A7

Instead she'd walk outside each night and smile up at the sky.

G D

Then just before she left us she called us to her side,

G - C - G

she told us what my father said to her just before he died.

2. I remember when you said you'd never leave me,

through these golden years I've kept the same vow, too.
