Side By Side - Sung by George Younce - 2004

George Younce final public appearance with William GaitherGeorge sings a unique rendition of Side By Side.

Lyrics: 

We got married last Friday 
My girl was right there beside me 
Our friends were all gone 
We were alone 
Side by side 

We were so happily wed when 
She got ready for bed then 
Her teeth and her hair 
She placed in a chair 
Side by side 

One glass eye so tiny 
One hearing aid so small 
Then she took one leg off 
And placed it on the chair by the wall 

I stood there broke hearted 
Most of my girl had departed 
I slept on the chair 
There was more of her there 
Side by side

How The Border Between India and Pakistan Is Closed Every Day

Keep in mind that each of these countries
have nuclear weapons

Every day at sunset since 1947, spectators have gathered at the Wagah Border crossing between India and Pakistan to watch rival border guards kick up dust in an entertaining flag-lowering ceremony. This daily display of shouts and stomps serves as a unique gauge of Indo-Pakistani relations - increasingly tense since the Mumbai terrorist attacks.
