Bed By The Window
Recorded by James King
Written by Rob Crosby and Marni Wilson

C                                  F              C
Two old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly
                                           G7
Confined to their beds their bodies giving way
    C                         F                  C
Old Joe lay by the window and watched the day go by
                                G7              C
And Bill lived to hear him tell about the world outside

                                F                C
They shared with each other the stories of their lives
                                                      G7
And relived all their memories and dreams of a better time
   C                             F                C
Outside the leaves were changing summer turned to fall
                                   G7               C
And from the bed by the window old Joe described it all

         F                      C
From the bed by the window he’d tell how the children played
                                            G7
The lovers in the park the ducks out on the lake
           F                               C
The little boy swept the sidewalk when the sun came up each day
                              G7                C
From the bed by the window he told it just that way

                                F            C
On a cold winter morning in the light of the dawn
                                                       G7
The bed by the window was empty old Joe had passed and gone
     C                           F                      C
They moved Bill by the window he couldn’t hold back the tears
                                  G7              C
He’d finally see the view outside after all these years

         F                    C
From the bed by the window he couldn’t see out at all
                                         G7        C
There was nothing out that window but an old brick wall

                                F              C
A new friend shares a room in a home for the elderly
                                       G7
Confined to his bed his body has given way
    C                      F              C
Now Bill lay by the window as the days go by
                                          G7                 C
And his new friend lived to hear him tell about the world outside

Repeat #3

                                   F                 G7 C
Two old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly
