An Ordinary Couple

An Ordinary Couple - Olive Gilbert

An ordinary couple

Is all we'll ever be

For all I want of living

Is to keep you close to me

To laugh and weep together

While time goes on its flight

To kiss you every morning

And to kiss you every night

We'll meet our daily problems

And rest when day is done

Our arms around each other

In the fading sun

An ordinary couple

Across the years we'll ride

Our arms around each other

And our children by our side

Our arms around each other

An ordinary couple

That's all we'll ever be

For all I want of living

Is to keep you close to me

To laugh and weep together

While time goes on its flight

To kiss you every morning

And to kiss you every night

We'll meet our daily problems

And rest when day is done

Our arms around each other

In the fading sun

An ordinary couple

Across the years we'll ride

Our arms around each other

And our children by our side

Our arms around each other
