Lyrics

verse
The frost on the outside of my window says I'm staying in
Another day to sit and stare at pictures, and think of old friends
I've had my dreams, and some have come true
But I still feel like there's so much left for me to do
Even though I am old

verse
Used to have a house in the country, used to have a lovin' man
Now I'm living in some strange place with nurses, but I understand
I don't want to be a burden to my own son
He has worries of his own and I don't want to be another one
Because I am old

bridge
People look at my life and say it's been good
Because I've lived this long, and they wish that they could
But the pain they don't see is the pain that I feel
When they walk right by, as though I'm not real

verse
My grandson came by this afternoon, he always makes me smile
He said I looked good, and asked if he could sit with me awhile
He sure can talk, but I love to listen
And as he hugged me I told him I'm proud of you son don't forget me
Because I am old, because I am old
