Lyrics
A couple old and grey
Sitting on an old park bench
Our eyes don't see, ears don't hear,
Legs don't run and our fists don't clench
Funny to see us now
We once were young; you would not think how
We lived through all the tears
To the winter of our years
A couple old and grey
Companions such a long time
Shared every meal, shared every deal
Shared every nickel, every dime
Faced every fight every day and night
Shared every wrong shared every right
Shared all the hopes and fears
To the winter of our years.
I'll meet you on the corner
I'll meet you on the 9 o clock news
We'll go to heaven hand in hand
They can say about us what they chose
Hey young man don't look at us so
One day soon in peace we rest
Our innings are good done all we could
We've paid our dues and done our best
We have to get our story straight
When we get up to St. Peter's gate
We'll save old Pete a couple of beers
In the winter of our years
