The old lady on the park bench

In the park with just one tree

Was there from the very first day

That you were part of me



It seemed like she'd been sitting there

Since 1000 B.C.

And you said, "She is as permanent

As anything can be"



From that first day

We were three

The old lady and you and me



You sat there in the window

You were looking 'cross the street

You said, "The birds and the old lady

Yet the same bread crumbs they eat"



I could not get you back to bed

'Till you took them both a treat

And I learned that you were twice as stubborn

As you could be sweet



From that first day

We were three

The old lady and you and me



Do you remember that summer rain storm

On the day that you moved in?

I was caught in the excitement

Of what was to begin



Well, you disappeared for a little while

And when I asked you where you'd been

You said you'd lent the old lady my new umbrella

Then you gave me that wicked grin



From that first day

We were three

The old lady and you and me



Yes, on March 21st the first day of Spring

The old lady would be there

Spend all the days of summer

Then she'd disappear somewhere



Where she spent her falls and her winters, babe

No one was aware

But you were the first to wonder

Yeah, you were the first to care



It was three years we were together

The old lady held that spot

Through the nights when life was wonderful

Through the days when it was not



And the times we were in trouble

In a way we sometimes got

Just knowing that she was out there

Meant we gave it just one more shot



From that first day

We were three

The old lady and you and me



Well, it's March 21st the first day of Spring

And you know what I had to do

I got up and I ran to the window

To confirm what I already knew



I wish I had your address to send this letter to

You see the old lady's not on the park bench

And I'm still wondering where are you?

Where are you, where are you?


Mirror lyrics:

Where are you, where are you?

And I'm still wondering where are you?

You see the old lady's not on the park bench

I wish I had your address to send this letter to



To confirm what I already knew

I got up and I ran to the window

And you know what I had to do

Well, it's March 21st the first day of Spring



The old lady and you and me

We were three

From that first day



Meant we gave it just one more shot

Just knowing that she was out there

In a way we sometimes got

And the times we were in trouble



Through the days when it was not

Through the nights when life was wonderful

The old lady held that spot

It was three years we were together



Yeah, you were the first to care

But you were the first to wonder

No one was aware

Where she spent her falls and her winters, babe



Then she'd disappear somewhere

Spend all the days of summer

The old lady would be there

Yes, on March 21st the first day of Spring



The old lady and you and me

We were three

From that first day

You said you'd lent the old lady my new umbrella

And when I asked you where you'd been

Well, you disappeared for a little while

That you were part of me

Was there from the very first day

In the park with just one tree

The old lady on the park bench
