Rockin' Alone

Rockin' Alone - The Everly Brothers/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 calloused and wrinkled and old

A life full of hard work was the story they told

And I've 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 embrace on somebody's heart

A letter would brighten her empty life there

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I know some youngsters in an orphan's home

Would think they owned heaven

If she were their own

They'd never be willing till let her sit there

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I look at her and I think what a shame

No 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
