Lyrics
1) She sits there by the window every morning just past dawn
And watches those around her eat their breakfast by the lawn.
No one comes to see her, she never needs the phone.
In all her years of living, she's never felt so alone.
1st CHORUS: But in her time and in her day, back in the city,
You could hear people say, she is so pretty,
with her dazzling smile and graceful glow,
heads would turn, wherever she would go.
2ND CHORUS:
And in the pages of her past, you can feel the laughter
of a love made to last, happy-ever-after.
But now that lovely girl is old and gray,
and so many friends have up and passed away, they've gone away..
bridge: She tries, to have faith in herself
so she prays everynight, and she dreams of good health.
Inside, it's so hard to exist
when she doesn't know why, it's turned out like this.
2) No one comes to see her, she's got no mail to read.
She just sits there and remembers, how great life used to be,
In her day..........
