Plagued by memories
Sitting in a rocking chair trying to recall the passing years
clutching a bible, he sits by the phone
for a voice to remind him he is not all alone
He can't help but wonder where the years have all gone
and questions his purpose as life carries on
He thinks of his family with great admiration
the laughter and love that built his foundation
Plagued by the memories forever in his mind
life has been good and the years have been kind
Grateful for the friends he met along the way
and thankful for the moments that took his breath away
He opens a window just to feel a gentle breeze
gazes out to see the world
and watch the falling leaves
Suddenly the phone rings and he is happy just to know
there is someone on the other end
that wants to say hello
