Roy squeezed her hand Alice smiled at him
The senior club special is a lot of 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


Chorus:
They wear love like lightening

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.


Chorus:

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.


Chorus:


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

Chorus:


Roy touched her face, Alice smiles at him
Bowed her head a moment and whispered "Amen"

If you look a little sideways, I'm not sure what it means
I swear it was an angel, that passed her the cream
