'Love At 84'

He's eighty-four this year you know

He's led a peaceful life

He had a place he called his own

And then he lost his wife

The children said they'd care for him

A new home would be nice

An old folks home is what they meant

He's old they said - It's right

There's a wealth of peace and quiet there

Or so he's always told

There's nothing left to think about

Not funny growing old

Then suddenly he met this girl

She's also 84

It's lovely when you think of it

Love at 84

Let them be they're independent

Surely you'll agree

They'll work it out and grow together

Show some sympathy

Perhaps they'll marry and who knows

they might get out of there

and live their life out happily

together no more tears

They've got a little money saved

that no one knows about

and 84 is not that old

it could go on for years
