lyrics

Lyrics:
It was the early 1960's
When I first went to Harvard Square
A place since I've been drawn to
I'll take my grandchildren there

Oh Harvard Square, oh Harvard Square

My home town Massachusetts
Is far from where I now live
But my sweet, young grandchildren
I give them all I can give

Oh all I can give, oh all I can give

I am a retired professor
After 20 long years have passed
A small book of poetry published this year
I hope it's not my last

Oh 20 long years, oh 20 long years

Each morning I wave to my love
My love, my darling Sue
She's off to work and I sit at home thinking
"How could I ever do it without you?"

Oh my darling Sue, oh my darling Sue
Oh my darling Sue, oh my darling Sue
