Everly Brothers Rocking Alone (in An Old Rocking Chair) Lyrics

Rocking Alone (in An Old Rocking Chair) Lyrics

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
