We Were Three Lyrics - Harry Chapin

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
