Alone in my room my eyes fill with tears
I’ll soon be gone for I'm now ninety five
I wish I could relive my youthful years
All my loved ones have gone, none are alive.
Lying here all day in this care home bed
Remembering the good times that I had
Three times a day by the nurses I’m fed
Being so immobile makes me feel sad.
The nurses are kind and so full of life
I’m frustrated now, just want to pass on
Fourteen years ago I lost my dear wife
I miss her so much my darling Yvonne.
I’m not well today I’ve pains in my heart
Hope this is my chance, this life to depart
