[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
