They would walk down the street in the evenin' And for years I would see them go by And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore Could be seen in the gleam of their eye As a kid they would take me for candy And I'd love to go taggin' along We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner And the old man would sing her his song
Now he walks down the street in the evenin' And he stops by the old candy store And I somehow believe he's believin' He's holding' her hand like before For he feels all her love walkin' with him And he smiles at the things she might say Then the old man walks up to the hilltop And gives her a daisy a day
