An old man
With a glass of rum
In a scruffy bar
Time stood still
Tears in eyes
Old time music plays
More days behind
Than future days.
To himself
Mumbles low
Raises his glass
To a distant show
That his late wife
God bless her soul
He accompanied
Before they grew old.
Upon boney fingers
A wedding ring
That with quivering lips
He plants a kiss
Again he mumbles
Barbara I love you
Before final orders
A love so true.
