When were young we fell in love and married
That’s been so many moons ago
And through these years we’ve raised a family
I’ve cherished each moment with you Rose
But to my surprise last night you told me
You said that we would have to part
So you must know tonight my Rosie
That I’m too old to stand a broken heart
Now the children they have gone and left us
They all have families of their own
And we’re alone just like we started
In our peaceful little country home
