FTwo old friends shared a room, In a Bbhome for the elderlFy, FConfined to their beds, Their bodies had given C7'way, Old JBboe lay by the window, And Fwatched the days go by, FAnd Bill lived to hear him tell, C7About the world outFside.
Chorus:
From the Bbbed by the window, He'd Ftell how the children play, The Flovers in the park, The ducks out on the C7lake, The little Bbboy who swept the sidewalk, When the Fsun came up each day, FFrom the bed by the window, He C7told it just that Fway.
VERSE 2
FThey shared with each other, The Bbstories of their Flives, FThey relived all their memories, FAnd dreamed of better dC7ays, OutBbside the leaves were falling, The Fsummer turned to fall, FAnd from the bed by the window, Old C7Joe described it Fall.
VERSE 3
FWhen on a cold winter morning, BbIn the light of Fdawn, The Fbed by the window was empty, Old Joe was gC7one. And when theyBb moved Bill to the window, He cFouldn't hold back the tears, When he Ffinally saw the view outside, AC7fter all those yFears.
BRIDGE:
From the Bbbed by the window, He cFouldn't see out at all, FThere was nothing out that window, But an C7old, brick, Fwall.
VERSE 4
FNow a new man shares that room, In the Bbhome for the elderFly,
Confined to his bed,
FHis body's wasted 'C7way Old BbBill lays by the window, And Fas the days go by, FHis new friend lives to hear him tell, AC7bout the world outFside.
Chorus:
From the Bbbed by the window, He'd Ftell how the children play, The Flovers in the park, The ducks out on the C7lake The little Bbboy who swept the sidewalk, When the Fsun came up each day, FFrom the bed by the window, He C7told it just that Fway.
END -- SLOWLY
