One by One

One by one
I'd search for ways
To spend more time with you
Two by two
You'd reappraise
If this young man might do

And you'd just smile at me
Decide if you'd be free
For a dinner and dance
And the start of romance

One by one
We lived each day
And struggled to make do
Two by two
We made our way
To where? We had no clue

Yet you'd sit and smile at me
You were oh so pretty
Time could not let you down
You made me feel like a clown

One by one
I count the days
That I have spent with you
Two by two
We walked life's maze
And managed to stay true

And you still smile at me
You're still oh so pretty
Say you'll stay as we grey
Until we fade away
