| [00:10.97] |
Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair |
| [00:16.34] |
|
| [00:17.28] |
I saw an old mother with silvery hair |
| [00:22.83] |
|
| [00:23.83] |
She seemed so neglected by those who should care |
| [00:29.96] |
|
| [00:31.21] |
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair |
| [00:36.57] |
|
| [00:39.63] |
Her hands were caloused and wrinckled and old |
| [00:45.55] |
|
| [00:46.36] |
A life full of hard work was the story they told |
| [00:52.16] |
|
| [00:53.23] |
And I've thought of angels as I saw her there |
| [00:58.97] |
|
| [01:00.34] |
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair |
| [01:06.08] |
|
| [01:13.07] |
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain |
| [01:18.00] |
|
| [01:19.44] |
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again |
| [01:24.74] |
|
| [01:26.11] |
And carry that cross that is more than her share |
| [01:32.35] |
|
| [01:33.72] |
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair |
| [01:40.41][ piano ] |
|
| [01:42.50] |
(It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart |
| [01:47.56] |
|
| [01:49.49] |
Just some small re-embrace on somebody's heart) |
| [01:54.92] |
|
| [01:56.54] |
A letter would brighten her empty life there |
| [02:02.40] |
|
| [02:03.72] |
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair |
| [02:09.34] |
|
| [02:16.38] |
I look at her and I think what a shame |
| [02:21.82] |
|
| [02:23.00] |
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same |
| [02:28.80] |
|
| [02:29.99] |
And I think of angels as I see her there |
| [02:35.79] |
|
| [02:37.47] |
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair |
