Bed By The Window by James King
Bed By The Window
VERSE 1
F
Two old friends shared a room,
Bb F
In a home for the elderly,
F
Confined to their beds,
C7
Their bodies had given 'way,
Bb
Old Joe lay by the window,
F
And watched the days go by,
F
And Bill lived to hear him tell,
C7 F
About the world outside.
Chorus:
Bb
From the bed by the window,
F
He'd tell how the children play,
F
The lovers in the park,
C7
The ducks out on the lake,
Bb
The little boy who swept the sidewalk,
F
When the sun came up each day,
F
From the bed by the window,
C7 F
He told it just that way.
VERSE 2
F
They shared with each other,
Bb F
The stories of their lives,
F
They relived all their memories,
F C7
And dreamed of better days,
Bb
Outside the leaves were falling,
F
The summer turned to fall,
F
And from the bed by the window,
C7 F
Old Joe described it all.
VERSE 3
F
When on a cold winter morning,
Bb F
In the light of dawn,
F
The bed by the window was empty,
C7
Old Joe was gone.
Bb
And when they moved Bill to the window,
F
He couldn't hold back the tears,
F
When he finally saw the view outside,
C7 F
After all those years.
BRIDGE:
Bb
From the bed by the window,
F
He couldn't see out at all,
F
There was nothing out that window,
C7 F
But an old, brick, wall.
VERSE 4
F
Now a new man shares that room,
Bb F
In the home for the elderly,
Confined to his bed,
F C7
His body's wasted 'way
Bb
Old Bill lays by the window,
F
And as the days go by,
F
His new friend lives to hear him tell,
C7 F
About the world outside.
Chorus:
Bb
From the bed by the window,
F
He'd tell how the children play,
F
The lovers in the park,
C7
The ducks out on the lake
Bb
The little boy who swept the sidewalk,
F
When the sun came up each day,
F
From the bed by the window,
C7 F
He told it just that way.
END -- SLOWLY
F
Two old friends shared a room,
Bb F
In a home for the elderly . . . .
