Rocking Alone In An Old Rocking Chair lyrics

Rocking Alone (In An Old Rocking Chair) 

 The Everly Brothers 

 Words and Music by Bob Miller 

  

 Sitting alone in an old rocking chair 

 I saw an old mother with silvery hair 

 She seemed so neglected by those who should care 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

  

 Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old 

 A life of hard work was the story they told 

 And I thought of angels as I saw her there 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

  

 Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain 

 Though life has been bitter she'd live it again 

 And carry that cross that is more than her share 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

  

 It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart 

 Just some small remembrance on somebody's part 

 A letter would brighten her empty life there 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

  

 I know some youngsters in an orphans' home 

 Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own 

 They'd never be willing to let her sit there 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

  

 I look at her and I think "What a shame" 

 The ones who forgot her she loves just the same 

 And I think of angels as I see her there 

 Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
