Carrie Newcomer - Alice and Roy lyrics

Roy squeezed her hand Alice smiled at him The senior club special is a lot food for them They act like teenagers or the best of friends With one hundred-eighty years between the two of them Back during the war at a wild country-dance He thought she'd ignore him but he took the chance Fifteen songs later he still held her close And a million dances since then hasn't been enough They wear love like lighting, It's something to see And the years of their true love Sits up on their sleeves. Alice nudged Roy and points with her spoon There sits two young lovers across the crowded room You can tell by their look she say's kind of giddy and flushed Roy grinned wry and wicked and Alice smiled and blushed They wear love like lighting, It's something to see And the years of their true love Sits up on their sleeves. Roy gets a little misty Alice pats his hand He's thinking bout the boy they lost in Vietnam And the girl he'd brought home, and then left behind And 40 years later she still sends cards at Christmastime They wear love like lighting, It's something to see And the years of their true love Sits up on their sleeves. Roy said, "Remember Alice you almost burned your diary All those poems and love letters I sent from overseas Alice says" I couldn't, even though I tried And I suppose the children will really be surprised." They wear love like lighting, It's something to see And the years of their true love Sits up on their sleeves. Roy touched her face, Alice smiles at him Bowed her heads a moment and whispered "Amen" If you look a little sideways, I'm not sure what it means II swear it was an angel, that pa**ed her the cream
