Confined to their beds their bodies given way

Old Joe lay by the window and watched the day go by

And Bill would wait to hear him tell about the world outside

They shared with each other the stories of their lives

Relived all the memories and dreams of a better time

Outside the leaves are changin, summer’s turned to fall

And from the bed by the window old Joe described it all

Chorus:

From the bed by the window he’d tell how the children played

The lovers in the park, the ducks out on the lake

A little boy swept the sidewalk when the sun came up each day

From the bed by the window he told it just that way

On a cold winter morning in the light of the dawn

The bed by the window was empty old Joe had passed and gone

They moved Bill by the window he couldn’t hold back the tears

He’d finally see the view outside after all these years

Chorus:

From the bed by the window he couldn’t see out at all

There was nothin out that window but an old brick wall

A new friend shares a room in a home for the elderly

Confined to his bed his body has given way

Now Bill lays by the window as the days go by

And his new friend lives to here him tell about the world outside

Chorus:

From the bed by the window he’d tell how the children played…

Two old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly
