Boy squeezed a hand,
Alice smiled at him
The senior club special is
a lot of food for them
And they acted like teenagers,
oh the best of friends
With a 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
And fifteen songs later,
he still held her close
And a million dances since
then hasn't been enough
They wear love like lightning,
it's something to see
And the years of their true love
sit 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 says,
kinda giddy and flushed
And
Roy grins wry and wicked, and
Alice smiled and blushed
They were in love like lightning,
it's something to see
And the ears of their true love sit
up on their sleeves
Roy gets a little misty
Alice pats his hand
He's thinking about the
boy they lost in
Vietnam
And the girl he brought home
And then left behind
And forty years later,
she still sends cards at
Christmas time
They wear love like lightning,
it's something to see
In the years of their true love,
set up on their sleeves
Roy says, remember
Alice, you almost burned your diary
All those poems and love letters
I sent from overseas
And
Alice says I could, even though I tried
And I don't suppose the children will really
be surprised
Roy touched her face,
Alice smiled at him
They bowed their heads a
moment and whispered
Amen
If you look a little sideways,
I'm not sure what it means
I could swear it was an angel that
passed her the cream
They wear love like lightning,
it's something to see
And the ears of their true
love sit up on their sleeves
They wear love like lightning,
it's something to see
And the ears of their true love
sit up on their sleeves
And the ears of their true love sit up
on their sleeves
you
