Brooks And Tillie
1943
His name was Brooks
Her name was Tillie
He was a crook, and he stole Tillie's heart
A boy back from the war
She ran the company store
From the day that they met they were never apart
One warm summers eve
He got down on one knee
Gave her his word and the keys to his car
An old country town
And a small piece of ground
A ring and a vow was all they had at the start
First a boy then a girl
All was right with the world
A picture of perfection a priceless work of art
A lifetime full of treasures
They went through them together
1979: kissed her goodbye and she died in his arms
A story of love and the work just to make it
Pictures and stories that make it all fit
Truths of the heart is that loving is easy time goes too fast and living is hard
